Moose,
Good on you and God be with you. Be careful what you say on an open forum, as your case may not be over yet. The civil part is still looming ahead, no matter how justified the shooting. He does not even have to win to wreck your life.
I recommend you accept the conseling offer, especially if it is a group situation with others who have fired in self defense. There is little someone who has not BTDT can do to help you emotionally, simply because you are likely to discount what they say. People who have BTDT can really help you through this. The after-effects of your shooting haven't hit you yet, and you are likely still in shock. The after-effects of a shooting are great, depression, social stigma, isolation, and they can lead to suicide. Hopefully you have a supportive network of family and friends. Even if you feel you do not need the help, get a phone number so you can get help if you need it down the road.
