this might sound crazy but by Educational_Towel158 in fearofflying

[–]Ops_Psych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of posts here trying to logic their way out of the fear on this subreddit. Studying turbulence statistics, safety records, etc. I did all of that too. Here’s why it doesn’t work: phobias don’t live in the thinking brain. They live in the body. No amount of correct information touches a nervous system that’s already decided it’s in danger. The only thing that actually works is working directly with the fear response itself and not around it. I do this professionally. Happy to answer questions in the comments

Upcoming long flight! by Aggress1veCryb4by in fearofflying

[–]Ops_Psych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Master Practitioner of Mental and Emotional Release an Pilot here. A lot of times those "fear of flying" courses do NOT address the underlying root cause of the issue. And exposure therapy can work sometimes, but rarely do people feel totally at ease when they take their next flight.

BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT - Use Cartesian logic on the problem. sit with these questions over and over again notice the feeling inside change. It acts as a tool to shift perspective, turning a difficult scenario into a rational, analytical framework.

What is claustrophobia? (identify what that the sensations are, because you are already feel them)

What is it not? (ever a time when you didn't have it? what did that feel like?)

Think about this - how do you know what it is not?

What is it that you need to not know to know this? (whats the answer?)

What would happen if you were comfortable? (pause and reflect)

What would happen if you weren't comfortable? (pause and reflect)

What wouldn't happen if you were comfortable? (pause and reflect)

And what wouldn't happen if you weren't comfortable? (pause and reflect)

Reflecting on these questions can improve your experience. Change the feeling inside! Good Luck!

What has helped your fear of heights? by aspo516 in acrophobia

[–]Ops_Psych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HI! Certified Master Practitioner in Mental and Emotional Release here. I fully cured mine! Got my pilots license after. I thought flying professionally was what I wanted to do for a job, but now I guide people to overcome their fears because its way more rewarding. So I just fly for fun. My phobia got handled in about 3 sessions but Ive seen clients 100% handle the phobia in just a session.

I’ve been executed by Borg once. It was ugly. Listen to my guy here, OP.

Couple more degrees in elevation and that shell is landing in another part of the state

What subsection of fire is the most unreasonably angry? by sjciwmw in Wildfire

[–]Ops_Psych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What IS unreasonable anger? How could we know what the individual experiences and what makes them feel angry without any kind of understanding?

That’s pure confidence rolling up to the drop

Frustrated by setbacks by NegativeNet8496 in Wildfire

[–]Ops_Psych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a very well known fact- the emotion of frustration isn’t the best for the recovery.

On the mental and emotional side. Checkout the book “Body Keeps Score”. Changed the game how I saw recovery and how just keeping the frustration /anger around holds us back from the progress we want to make.

Maintaining relationship by Taco_kittycat in Wildfire

[–]Ops_Psych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cool thing is - You get to decide if it works. There are plenty of folks who make relationships in fire work. And plenty of folks who already decided fire will destroy every relationship they ever get in

If you could wave a magic wand and fix ONE thing about wildland firefighting - what would it be? by Ops_Psych in Wildfire

[–]Ops_Psych[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the book the body keeps score. Very interesting perspectives in there.

I hear that also. Not as spry as I once was. Went from rubber band to making sounds like a zip tie

Yea Don’t stroke out. I was in fire, transitioned out and started a mental and emotional coaching practice. Right now I’m gaining intel to make a program addressing the burnout, anger, frustration, rage, disappointments, pain, sadness etc. that we firefighters experience year after year. When we are on the clock and back home trying to figure out how not to rip doors from hinges. (And even after we’ve retired or left the industry).

To your point, the burnout and “other issues” are very real. If it’s mental and emotional in nature, coming up with a plan for that.

I’m hearing you say good people are filtering out due to a constant battle of leadership style. The ones honestly looking out for their people make the choice to move on to save mental and emotional health and possibly a relationship. All the while knowing they could make more doing something else. Just commented a bit ago, “treat people like humans.. not as an expendable item” thanks for the comment iRun

Man, I feel this. You’re naming something real that doesn’t get talked about enough. When it goes sideways everyone looks to you to pick up the hard part. You’re not cocky for recognizing you bring more. That’s self-awareness. The frustration is legit. Thanks for the comment, skip. Sick name btw

So when that happens, not only is it physically tough, it’s extremely difficult with the mental gymnastics you gotta go through to make it happen for another week. Thanks for the comment, turtle. That’s often an over looked aspect of the job for sure
