"WHAT TO DO:"

"WHAT TO DO:"

• To survive an abduction you must retain mental alertness and a positive attitude

• Do not antagonize your abductors, do as you are told

• Mentally converse with someone (your partner, colleague) to help you keep the situation in perspective

• Use whatever methods you have for relaxing like mentally picturing what you will do when you return home

• Try to seek some improvements in your condition especially if you are being held for more than a day

• Make it difficult for your captors to treat you inhumanely by talking about your family

• If you are being brutally treated, try to mentally converse with loved ones or talk to your God

• Do not believe in promises that you will soon be released
