Emotional instability in a hostage negotiation can lead to prolonged negotiations. It is crucial to manage emotions effectively to avoid burnout and maintain control in high-pressure situations. Lack of discipline, calmness, and control due to emotional distress can result in making reckless decisions, like using an unsecure phone or making threats to kidnappers. These actions can lead to the kidnappers escalating the situation and potentially harming the hostage. Maintaining composure, following a routine, and having strict protocols in place, such as using secure communication channels, is essential in hostage negotiations to ensure a safe and successful resolution.
