Step 1: We need to help the person regulate their emotions. Often, we are in fight or flight mode. SELF REG is the first step.
Step 2: We need to strengthen the relationship we have with the person by showing empathy and developing the relationship so that they feel they can trust and are safe.
Step 3: We support the person to reason or find a solution to the problem. We can only do this effectively if steps one and two have taken place.
