โ 1. Space โ Maintain 2+ arm-lengths distance. Angle your body โ
โ โ 45 degrees (non-confrontational, protects center โ
โ โ line). Position an exit route behind you, never โ
โ โ behind the aggressor โ

โ 2. Voice โ Lower your volume below theirs โ this forces them โ
โ โ to quiet down to hear you. Speak slowly. Use a โ
โ โ calm, even tone. Avoid commands ("calm down") โ โ
โ โ use observations ("I can see you're upset") โ

โ 3. Acknowledge โ Name their emotion without agreeing with their โ
โ โ position: "That sounds really frustrating." Do NOT โ
โ โ say "I understand" unless you genuinely do. Do NOT โ
โ โ argue, correct, or explain โ yet โ

โ 4. Offer exits โ Give the person a way to disengage without losing โ
โ โ face: "I think we both need a minute" or "Let me โ
โ โ get someone who can help with this." Frame retreat โ
โ โ as a mutual decision, not submission โ

โ 5. Disengage โ If de-escalation fails, create distance. Do not โ
โ โ turn your back. Move toward other people, exits, โ
โ โ or authority figures. Leave the area if possible โ

OODA Loop Application:

โ Observe โ Take in the full situation: who, what, where, how many, โ
โ โ weapons, exits, bystanders. Use peripheral vision. Do not โ
โ โ fixate on the most obvious stimulus โ scan the whole scene โ
โโโโโโโโโโโโผโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโค
โ Orient โ Match the observation to your training and experience: โ
โ โ "This is [type of situation]. I have [these options]." โ
โ โ Orientation is where pre-training pays off โ trained โ
โ โ responses orient faster than improvised ones โ

โ Decide โ Select the best available option โ not the perfect one. โ
โ โ A good decision now beats a perfect decision too late. โ
โ โ If Orange-state planning was done (Step 1), the decision โ
โ โ may already be made โ

โ Act โ Execute with full commitment. Hesitation between decision โ
โ โ and action is the most dangerous gap. Once you act, observe โ
โ โ the result and re-enter the loop โ

โ Tactical breathing โ Inhale 4 counts, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4. โ
โ (box breathing) โ Repeat 4 cycles. Activates parasympathetic โ
โ โ response in ~60 seconds. Use: acute stress, โ
โ โ pre-confrontation, post-adrenaline dump โ

โ 5-4-3-2-1 sensory โ Name 5 things you see, 4 you hear, 3 you can โ
โ anchor โ touch, 2 you smell, 1 you taste. Forces the โ
โ โ mind out of internal panic and into present- โ
โ โ moment external reality. Use: dissociation, โ
โ โ freeze response, post-traumatic intrusion โ

โ Peripheral vision โ Fix eyes on a point, then widen awareness to โ
โ activation โ the edges of the visual field without moving โ
โ โ the eyes. Activates parasympathetic nervous โ
โ โ system and reduces tunnel vision. Use: hyper- โ
โ โ focus, tunnel vision, adrenaline narrowing โ

โ Physical anchor โ Press feet firmly into the ground and feel the โ
โ โ contact. Squeeze and release fists 3 times. โ
โ โ Roll shoulders back. These physical actions โ
โ โ re-establish body awareness. Use: dissociation,โ
โ โ shaking, post-event processing โ

โ Verbal reset โ State your name, location, and current task โ
โ โ aloud: "I am [name], I am at [location], I am โ
โ โ doing [task]." Orienting to facts breaks the โ
โ โ emotional loop. Use: confusion, panic, sensory โ
โ โ overload โ
