During which Debriefing Model phase are participants asked to identify the worst part of the event for them, personally?

• A. Fact Phase
• B. Impact Phase
• C. Planning Phase
• D. Reaction Phase

Answer: (D)

During a structured debrief after a traumatic event, the phase that centers on emotional processing and personal experience is where participants are invited to express their feelings and initial reactions. This phase explicitly asks what personal impact the event had and what part was most distressing for them, making it the appropriate time to identify the worst part for them personally. The other phases focus on describing what happened (facts), examining the broader consequences and effects (impact), or planning future steps and prevention (planning), which are not about sharing individual emotional responses.
