This progression suggests that individuals initially experience anxiety as they perceive a threat or challenge. They then move into a defensive state, where they attempt to protect themselves from the crisis. This may involve denial, avoidance, or other defensive mechanisms. If these defenses are not effective, individuals may escalate to the acting out stage, where they express their distress through impulsive or aggressive behaviors. Finally, as the crisis is resolved or managed, individuals experience tension reduction, which is a return to a more relaxed state.Rate this question:
