How do fighter pilots (top guns), firemen and other emergency workers deal with a crisis situation? They go onto “automatic mode” which was drilled into their psyche over a period of time…
Ever wondered why pilots are trained on simulators? They are trained to quickly ascertain a snapshot of what is happening and what is not happening. Based on these nanoseconds of bits of factual information they are trained to make “snap” deductions and produce the most appropriate actions.
There is another answer to my “WHY?” question and that is rooted in the physiological set-up of our bodies. When faced with a crisis situation our adrenalin pumps excessively and everything we do become an automatic reflex and not necessarily a rational response. We need to get the brain to reconnect to our bodies (including our speech) and the best way to do it is through a renewed intensive focus.
