The fives upset the stability of the fours, and the sixes reestablish normality. Roles are redefined, goals assessed, and rewards given, with a focus on collaboration and relationships.

When a situation is beyond repairing, sometimes the best you can do is leave. This is no time to be a hero but instead to call on one. Your situation is dicey and complicated, and you’ve probably worn yourself out with trying to solve it. Find someone you can trust and who has the means to help you. Then comes the hard part: let them help. You don’t have to do everything on your own.

Even after your escape plan is in motion, manage your thoughts and calm your fears. If you don’t, they can become blocks to freedom. Don’t let your concerns cause delays or create new problems. Focus on the immediate situation. You can play mind games with yourself later if you want. If you are the one aiding someone else, part of your job will be helping them keep calm.
