How to Diffuse a Situation

We have all been in moments where we are pushed to our limits and are ready to explode. What can we do to express what we are feeling yet not create a situation that spirals out of control?

How to diffuse a situation

Most importantly, it is necessary to separate yourself from the situation at hand to calm down and view things from a realistic perspective.

  • Many times in the heat of a discussion or situation, our emotions are clouding our perception of what is really going on and not allowing us the opportunity to forumulate an appropriate response to our problem.
  • By temporarily removing ourself from the situation it allows us to calm down, view the circumstances from all angles and develop a response that will not make things worse.
