Often times this type of model would be used when dealing with the type of situation that may occur again. It requires the person to step back from what just happened and first think about exactly what occured. After the person understands what happened then they need realize what they were
. thinking and feeling as a result of the event. It is also then important for the person to make a mental list of what was good and bad about the experience.
