In the wake of a catastrophic event, the witness may discover or
experience unsettling emotions which can trigger subsequent
behaviors. These reactions can lead to a number of consequences,
some of which are unproductive. Restabilization is a practical means of addressing these
reactions and the resultant issues. It is a four-step process of
self-discovery guided, but not led, by a counselor; aimed at
restoring someone's confidence and improving their capability to
deal with life's problems. The person is encouraged, and enabled,
to view the event as a learning experience with an opportunity to
improve their performance in relation to unexpected problems. The four stages of the process are described in detail, together
with examples of model sessions and rules of engagement which serve
to ensure the effectiveness of the process. There are also some
Communication Exercises designed to ensure unemotional but
sympathetic communication between the counselor and their
client. In addition, the Dark Serpent Dilemma and Technique offers a
pragmatic way of approaching and solving the problems which life
throws at all of us from time to time. Once the concept is
understood it can be applied as a way of ensuring the optimum
reaction to any significant event or situation. About the Author For several years, Jim Burtles was Principal Consultant with
Safetynet PLC, where he taught business executives how to cope
with, and plan for, minor emergencies, disasters and absolute
catastrophes. Safetynet was a pioneering disaster recovery and
business continuity company which specialized in dealing with
business emergencies. Such events might range in scale from a
faulty air-conditioning system to the aftermath of major
earthquakes or terrorist attacks. The original concept of Safetynet was centered on the complex
computer-based operations of the modern business. However,
experience soon taught Safetynet's founders that the whole of the
business environment had to be taken into account. Therefore,
personnel problems and many other aspects needed to be taken into
consideration. Jim acquired his expertise in disaster recovery and emergency
management through direct exposure to dozens of real-life
disasters, almost a hundred emergencies and countless problem
situations. He also benefited from the indirect experience of many
more, gained from talking to, and working with, victims of various
crises. In his current role, as a Director of Total Continuity
Management, he is now working with senior executives of
international corporations and government departments to help them
develop complete emergency response plans and processes which
include appropriate counseling and training programs to cope with
