4. Anne Lamott: “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” That's the rationale for Decompress. One of the scarce resources right now is you.
3. Decompress also builds on experience with front-line health care workers in prior disasters. You won't hear prompts for critical incident debriefings that made psychological sequelae worse. Being 'always on' right now may be harmful.
