Stop! Don’t Slime: Lessons in Debriefing for Criminal Justice Professionals March 21, 2024
In the realm of working with people in crisis– which is likely all of us, we tend to agree that others don’t understand the work we do. This leads to the implication that our teams are our primary support system and with that support, they share similar experiences and often are the first persons we choose to debrief with. Furthermore, these story exchanges happen fluidly and without warning – this is sliming. When employees share traumas they have received from others with unsuspecting team members – sliming is occurring. And although there is no ill intent, the results can be detrimental, especially over time.
Takeaways:
- Define and describe sliming.
- Reflect on instances of sliming others and being slimed by others.
- Create an action plan on how best to diffuse sliming.
