Processus émotionnel :

FOCUS RÉACTION ÉMOTIONNELLE LONG-TERME
Déni car sidération, stupéfaction (« Je n’y crois pas ») – valable aussi pour les émotion positives (champion sportif qui vient de remporter une grande victoire)
Sidération anesthésie, empêche un passage à l’acte immédiat
Pendant la phase de déni-colère (suite à l’annonce) : accepter de laisser les choses en suspend, attention à la tendance naturelle au « saut de Tarzan »
Risque de décalage entre les courbes des dirigeants (tristesse) et celle des salariés (colère)

Shocked numbness/shock and numbness
Since this is from the Elizabeth Kubler-Ross change curve, I went to the English-language version of that:
Kubler-Ross Change Curve:
https://www.cleverism.com/understanding-kubler-ross-change-c...
It's obvious from the 5 stages listed there that this is Kubler-Ross's "5 stages of grief," expanded so as to also apply to surprising changes other than death. So, here are her 5 stages of grief: https://www.ekrfoundation.org/5-stages-of-grief/5-stages-gri...
I also did a search on the book where she set forth her "5 stages" theory: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Dying-Doctors-Nurses-Families/d...
In those sources I didn't see a set phrase that corresponded to "sidération anésthesie," but in these two stages--denial and anger or "déni-colère," as the FR text says--there were several references to shock/being shocked and to numbness/feeling numb.

: This could work, but I agree with Phil Goddard that we need something to capture the sense of "shock."
