Part Six Strategy One - Which Way Is Your Warrior Facing

This is the audio version of my book "Which Way Is Your Warrior Facing-an operational manual for current serving and veterans transitioning into civilian life". These recordings will be of use to veterans, their families, and allied health professionals.

In this sixth talk, we will look at seven operational strategies for navigating through effective connections and communication with others. In this first strategy we explore the importance of self control and down regulating your feelings when tense, irritable, frustrated or angry. This equates to ensuring you "keep your safety on". We will look at using breathing, cold water, reframing and negotiated time out to self calm. You will be reminded of your operational skill sets that can be used. We will also focus on effective listening.
