Lesson Overview

1.56 – Safety Planning After Crisis Texts or Calls: Receiving alarming messages triggers urgency that clouds reasoning. First, slow your breathing before replying; adrenaline wants speed, but safety demands sequence. Assess content—is it an immediate threat or distress venting? If danger seems present, contact authorities or trusted intermediaries; never shoulder full responsibility alone. Keep replies calm, brief, and directive: “You’re not alone; I’m calling help.” Avoid emotional debates by focusing on logistics. Afterward, decompress—your nervous system absorbs residual stress. Write a quick incident log to maintain clarity for follow-ups. Safety planning includes self-care; responders burn out without replenishment. Your steadiness saves lives only if maintained. Boundaries after crisis communication ensure sustainability, proving empathy requires balance between compassion and preservation.
