FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
MAXIMIZE YOUR PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RESPONSES
This 16-hour seminar prepares law enforcement officers for threatening and violent encounters when time-compressed decision-making is required.
The instructors will discuss techniques that control stress responses so de-escalation strategies can be effectively applied.
The seminar will not only deal with the latest research on how threats and violent encounters impact physiological and psychological reactions but will explore ancient survival traditions and why these traditions are relevant today. Case histories with audio and video recordings will be used to illustrate principles.
At the end of this program, students will:
- Understand and recognize the physiological and psychological changes that occur when a person is thrust into a sudden stressful situation.
- Understand how these psychological and physiological changes can affect the ability to perform and survive during sudden stressful situations.
- Understand how experiencing a sudden stressful situation can lead to a “high”, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or Post Traumatic Growth.
- Understand how physical training, mental imagery, tactical self-talk, breathing and centering improve stress inoculation, startle recovery and the ability to apply de-escalation techniques.
- Understand that many officer survival tactics are rooted in ancient survival traditions.
