Be Attuned to Your Own Responses

Understanding that your behavior may influence other's behavior is a helpful de-escalation tool. 

You might reflect by asking yourself:

• How am I feeling?
• How am I responding? 
• What is my response communicating? 

"Be aware that the way you express yourself can have a significant effect on how others respond to you. Those who know you well may respond very differently than do strangers. Effective communication skills are an essential tool in violence prevention." - CDC on Occupational Violence
