I don't have a psyc degree but several of my family members do. I do have several psychology courses under my belt, but wouldn't presume to be anyone who could speak with authority.
One of my brothers killed himself, and shortly thereafter my father died of cancer. I had a really rough time of it. The only thing that kept me healthy was flying! Everything there was procedure, calm, etc. I would land feeling happy again. Flying completely grounded me, and made me feel connected to the world. (And I remembered that my Dad and brother loved flying, and that made it even better.)
I didn't ground myself, even though there were some emotions involved. I did, however, prevent myself from flying if emotions were to strong.
All this is two years ago. I'm just interested in your thoughts.
