What stage of the assault is he demonstrating? a. Trigger stage
b. Escalation stage
c. Recovery stage
d. Depression stage
D
The depression stage involves a period of guilt and attempts to reconcile (make up) with others. Aggressors are aware of the assault and genuinely feel bad about it. They may apologize frequently, or provide loving care for the victim. The trigger stage occurs prior to the assault when the stress-producing event occurs. Escalation stage is when actions move closer to a loss of control and the recovery stage occurs after the violence and injuries are assessed.
