Help everyone to understand that the brain works differently under threat:

        Under threat, the brain reacts:                                                When in safety, the brain reacts:



                           EMOTIONAL: I need to be emotional – I shout                                     STEADY: I can be calm and steady – I don’t
                           and scream so others come to rescue me.                                         need to call for help.


                           RIGID: I need to be rigid and focus only on one                                 FLEXIBLE: I know I am safe so my mind can
                           thing - survival. I need to refuse if it makes me                               think of others, shift from one task to another

                           feel unsafe.                                                                    and problem-solve.
                                                                                                           DELIBERATE: I can take my time and think
                           IMPULSIVE: I need to be impulsive and react
                                                                                                           things through – I don’t need to make urgent
                           quickly to danger.
                                                                                                           decisions to stay safe.

                           ALERT: I need to be alert and on guard to any                                   FOCUSED: I do not need to worry about
                           dangers around me.                                                              dangers around me. I can focus on one task.
