How to deal with a violent act: The seven components for defense
Being safety conscious does not mean being fearful, paranoid, or fearful to leave the house. Rather, self-defense knowledge and skills build a sense of control that is essential to feeling safe and well.

The psychology of survival consists of three broad areas:

1. Understanding and controlling FEAR.

2. Motivate yourself to be “RESPONSIBLE” for your personal safety through training and study; and

3. Understand the impact SELF-ESTEEM has on emotional resilience, crisis response, and victim targeting.
