The participant must be able to stop the role play immediately and get relevant support.In a first step the trainer has to try to stabilise the concerned person and to decode together with the participant whether she or he wants to talk to the clinical psychologist or psychotherapist.
Therefore it is important that the former traumatisation must not be explored by the trainer. If the concerned participant wants to talk to the psychologist the appointment should be as soon as possible so that the stabilisation can be arranged by the psychologist as well.
