Pilot Critical Incident Support

Behind every dark cloud, the sun is still shining

In your aviation career, there can be always incidents in which your life as a pilot or a person in your immediate vicinity is or appears to be directly threatened. The confrontation with aggressive passengers, sick or dying guests or severe turbulence does not leave even very experienced air crew members unscathed.

We are talking about negative experiences such as:

  • Severe turbulences
  • Air rage / unruly passengers
  • Technical failure of aircraft/helicopter
  • Critical incidents on the aircraft/helicopter
  • Aircraft/helicopter accidents 
  • Loss and family issues

When it comes to stress processing after stressful events, it is assumed that you can also show psychologically stressful reactions after serious incidents. The first emotions that you might experience can be anger, frustration, shame, guilt and fear and you will avoid talking about it. This is completely normal.

TASMA® Pilot Critical Incident Support is your special «First Aid» program to prevent high levels of stress, anxiety, and trauma (PTSD).

How do we work in our TASMA Pilot Critical Incident Support?

TASMA® pilot critical incident support stands for a gentle way of working that understands stress, anxiety, and trauma in its complexity and perceives the symptoms and dynamics. It ensures security and better integration of the experience. Our work is based on a holistic and resource-oriented support and is divided into three important phases:

  • Stabilisation and affect regulation Pilot Critical Incident Support CISM
  • Processing stress, anxiety, and trauma (exposure)
  • Integration

We work with highly efficient and scientifically based neuro-based short-term coaching tools, psychological methods and bodywork such as trauma-sensitive yoga, that allow us to prevent and dissolve stress, anxiety, and trauma more effectively and sustainably.

With a simple, but scientifically confirmed, muscle test, stress triggers can be revealed fast and sustainably processed. Even without having to talk about what happened to you, if you don't want to.

Psychoeducation is also included to give a better understanding about the background of stress, anxiety, and trauma.
For example:

  • How your symptoms arose
  • What neurobiological connections there are
  • What protective mechanisms your system uses
  • What the reason for it is

This allows you to understand and classify things better and gives you more trust and self-confidence.
