Fairfax's Europe correspondent Nick Miller has just spoken to a psychologist in Paris, who has spent a sleepless night counselling survivors of the deadly attacks.

Dr Jardon Vincent says may of the survivors are in utter shock. "They feel it was like a film, a dream, a nightmare," he said.

Some survivors were just blank with horror, others were screaming and crying. There is sorrow but "not much anger, not yet," Dr Vincent said.

The psychologist fears that post-traumatic stress disorder will follow the attacks for some survivors.
