  11. Precipitating Factors: Factors that influence behaviors

  12. Rational detachment: the ability to manage your own behavior and attitude Stay Calm. We may not be able to control precipitating factors, but we can control our own responses to risk behaviors. Take a deep breath. Maintain professionalism (we want to manage the situation by responding appropriately) Do not take behaviors personally Find positive outlets for the negative energy absorbed during a crisis (Time off, Vent to peers, 5 min break)

  13. Primeval behavior: This Behavior is based on a primitive instinct: raw and elementary Instinctive Primitive Basic Natural Ingrained ********* Do not handle difficult situations alone *********

  14. Behavior influences behavior: We need to consider how our behavior impacts those in our care. Treat those in our care respectfully. Make objective decisions.

  15. Caring for ourselves: short term Aromatherapy (lavender, rose, chamomile are good essential oils to relieve stress) Coffee Break (can potentially decrease emotional/physical stress) Exercise Break (take a 10 min. walk) Music (listen to a song of you choice, that makes you feel good)

  16. Caring for ourselves: Long term Take time off from work. Spend quality time away from work/ with friends/family and your furry friends. Don’t take problems home with you, leave them at work. Find a craft or creative task to complete. Get away from social media/phones/television, etc. Find an exercise routine. Get a massage, facial, etc. Find a mentor that can help you problem solve and can be used as a positive role model.
