Are there any concrete tools for for
dealing with that kind of a moment?
>> Um
Here I would use some grounding
techniques, okay? So if someone around
you
I would also try to get the more we're
focused on helping other people, the
better off we'll be, okay? Um
I would even say it's kind of similar to
what I mentioned before, but I would
have this child
help that child, okay? Give them all a
job. This way they're they're staying
active and how can I You might even want
to practice, you know, or give them
different ideas beforehand,
but I want to keep them active and
focusing on helping someone else, okay?
Um almost like this
uh kind of like cycle of each person is
helping the other person and more we're
able to do that, the panic will drop,
okay? There's no one to talk to.
Everyone's you just completely uh
disregulated. Um we may want to use
different grounding techniques such as
uh you know,
um giving your child a hug, okay? Or uh
shaking their hands with certain rhythm,
but just like patting their hands,
right? Like shake and have them shake
back, okay? That was scary. Um and then
I would try to
give him something to do.
Okay? You see that um elderly woman over
there? Would you be able to go over and
offer her a cup of water?
Okay?
Um
So you you're really focused on what you
can control in that circumstance um and
not on what you can't, okay? And trying
to activate your loved ones in that way
as well.
So if a person is
hysterical, then you're going to try to
regulate them through your own
You
have to co-regulate them, right? I'd say
by um
by physical touch if you can, okay? When
appropriate. Um
Explain to me what happened if you
yourself know.
Okay, we just heard this loud boom. Uh
that was very scary. Baruch Hashem,
everyone here seems to be okay.
I'm
you know, security forces are dealing
with it.
We're doing okay. Baruch Hashem, we're
all safe.
Okay?
Um, so to explain what is going on. And
then I would ask them a question, once
again. Where they try to get them, try
to have like snap out of the the panic
mode.
Okay?
Um, so that's really what we're focused
on. You could also use different
breathing techniques, right? Deep
breathing, right? So, you know, kind of
breathing in and then slowly exhaling.
Okay?
Um,
you know, want to give them a drink,
something to eat. If they really don't
feel like eating or drinking at the
time,
it's kind of distracting them from
getting stuck in that panic.
Okay?
