A great article from a friend of mine... Mark Bond, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice Studies. American Public University System. September 2000 – Present (15 years 3 months)Charles Town, WV
Review: Q-TIP theory was designed to be used as a code word to help officers stay focused when their body’s natural “fight or flight” defenses were activated. Stressful situations often cause a surge of adrenaline that can reduce an officer’s ability to think critically during heightened threats (Bond, 1998). Using the Q-TIP theory, officers can remind themselves—and their peers—to stay in control of their emotions.

TSgt John Temblador, PI, CIPA Sounds like another great tool for your battle to help you remain in charge of a situation.
For lesser situations I take a deep breath, dip my head a bit and tell myself, "it really does't matter". In my status, it usually doesn't matter.
