Stop…You’re Under Arrest for Emotional Hijacking: Presented by Wanda Townsend
In the field of law enforcement, emotional hijacking is a common occurrence especially when dealing with a dangerous situation. Police officers may be faced with an alleged offender pointing a weapon at them; the officer’s first responsemay be to shoot, out of fear, thus a perfect example of emotional hijacking. By providing an understanding of how the brain functions under times of stress and on a daily basis, when faced with such a challenge, this information couldserve to prevent such emotional hijacking situations from becoming a police tragedy.
In this session we will learn how to navigate our emotions by:
- Becoming more aware of triggers that can create a negative emotional reaction.
- Learning tactics to manage one’s own mental state during stressful situations.
- Being more attentive to the impact of daily emotions on long-term moods and attitudes toward colleagues and others.
