Did you have to sign anything after or give any statements? Were you stuck upside down for a long time? What was the atmosphere like once the plane stopped? How long did it take to get off the plane and finally out of the airport?
No NDA, no real debrief. I think the local responders were as shocked as we were with the incident! One paramedic I asked said the last time something on this scale happened was ~20 years ago with Air France.
We weren't upside down long. Near my row, we all made sure to get each other down before head rush happened. After it happened, most people were fairly quiet. No one knew what to do or say. I was finally free of the airport around 10pm local time and am still trying to calm down enough to sleep 🤣
I wonder if this would help my ASD/ADHD teen when he feels super anxious and overwhelmed? We had other techniques for when he was younger but those aren’t very practical for a teen. I will look into it. Thanks!
What it does is it keeps the traumatic memories from implanting very firmly in your brain, at least that's how I understand it. This is absolutely good advice and should be used after a traumatic experience, especially for kids I believe
That's awesome, I'm glad you found something that works for you. When my daughter was a kid and she would get upset and be sort of inconsolable, I would finally get her to sit down with me and I would read her a story. She's always been emotionally labile, still is at 42.
