Disclaimer
- This is not in any way to indicate that there isn’t a time or place for fight for yourself or others. But there are many situations where de-escalation is the bast approach. You must always ask yourself, do I have time and opportunity?
Understanding De-Escalation
- De-escalation is a strategic approach to defuse conflicts and high-tension situations.
- The importance of staying calm and composed when facing high-threat scenarios is critical.
- Emphasize that de-escalation doesn't imply weakness; it's a strategic approach to protect oneself and others.
Advantages of De-Escalation
- You win every fight you don’t have.
- If you must fight you want it to be as violent, on your part, as possible and over as quickly as possible. Every second a fight continues is time for it to go bad for you.
- Preserves legal and ethical standing in case of legal repercussions. There is always the fight after the fight.
Techniques for Effective De-Escalation
- Technique 1: Listening Before Acting
- If the person who is threatening you is voicing a problem with you, then you may want to listen to that and ask yourself if you may have done something wrong. Tell the story of the Walmart parking lot.
- Do not allow the threat to close distance or place you in additional risk while listening to them.
- Technique 2: Verbal Calming
- Lower and relax your voice as much as possible. They no longer have to compete by elevating their vocals which also elevates emotions. It calms them down, and can give you a tactical advantage if you remain alert, should you need it.
- Technique 3: Offering Solutions - Ask questions: What can I do to make the situation better? What did I do to upset you? How can I help you? Questions do multiple things in our brain, they take us out of fight or flight because they require us to think. They also communicate that there may be another alternative to physical force.
- Using "we" language can create a sense of collaboration.
