A three-stage framework for personal safety

Organized around what happens before, during, and after a threat, the book treats self-defense as a broader process than physical technique alone. Its scope includes awareness, boundaries, de-escalation, ways to avoid or escape danger, and the psychological and emotional dimensions of an encounter. Case studies and scenarios are presented alongside guidance on training environments and coaches, while community support and recovery extend the framework beyond the immediate incident. The timeline gives these subjects a practical organizing structure, connecting preparation and response with what follows.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking a broad introduction to personal safety and self-defense.
  • Readers interested in approaches that include awareness, boundaries, and de-escalation as well as physical skills.
  • Those looking for material on self-defense training choices and post-incident recovery.
