This podcast is the narrated version of my article Crisis Intervention: 5 Critical Steps.

What causes an emotional crisis and how can we successfully manage it? Here are five ways to handle a client in crisis, so you can feel confident in your crisis intervention skills.

In this episode I talk about:

  • Getting in too deep
  • There must be some way out of here
  • Averting a crisis
  • Two signs of crisis
  • Disconnecting from reality
  • Causes: Where does the crisis originate?
  • Frightening changes: The mystery of ‘trance logic’
  • Processing life through an agitated mind
  • Ascertain safety
  • Calm your client
  • Engage resources
  • Ascertain their beliefs during the crisis
  • Help them find hope through an action plan
  • First let’s survive
