Risk Behavior: Represents actions that endanger oneself or others, which may include extreme aggression (punching, kicking), self-harm, acquiring weapons, or isolation (barricading).
Tension Reduction: Involves a significant decrease in emotional or physical energy, often seen through behaviors like crying, seeking isolation, or making apologies.
