As critical incident workers you have encountered many experiences that have impacted your life emotionally and physically. We can all learn, identify and empathize with each other as everyone has experienced trauma—whether it be direct or vicarious. For this assignment, reflect upon a situation you experienced that impacted you in a significant way. You will share this assignment with your colleagues in this course.
Note: Since you will be sharing this with your classmates, please ensure your paper is something you feel comfortable sharing with your colleagues! I don’t want anyone to feel forced to share anything they do not want to or feel comfortable discussing.
In 2-3 double spaced pages discuss:
What occurred?
What were the stressors and emotions experienced?
How did you handle the incident?
What was the outcome?
How would you handle or show up in that situation differently using your knowledge of mindfulness and stress management.
Integrate 2 Peer-Reviewed/scholarly articles that reflect/support your experience. Identify the source of the articles at the end of your paper ensuring that you also cite those sources within your paper (I do prefer APA format but I will accept what you are used to as long as it’s consistent throughout).
