Hendrick Motorsports vice president Jeff Gordon said the team has a “concrete plan” to have Larson in Charlotte in time for driver introductions, about 45 minutes before the race.
Carbonell spends little time on statistics, telling patients: “I know you already looked at them all, and they’re not helping you.”For people with milder levels of aerophobia, deep breathing often works. Longer exhales help the body relax, said Dragonette, who counseled Campbell for aerophobia and other anxiety disorders at a Newport Healthcare residential facility in Temecula, California.
People suffering more extreme cases can be helped with exposure therapy. It can start by simply getting patients to become comfortable looking at photos of planes, watching videos of planes flying safely, or putting on a virtual reality headset that shows recordings of being inside a plane, Dragonette said.It’s a matter of getting patients to learn to live with their feelings and better handle them.Carbonell recommends patients take practice flights that do not involve work trips or any other responsibilities. When they have symptoms, he recommends they keep a written inventory.
“They’re keeping a simple count,” he said. “We’re using counting as a proxy for acceptance.”Nelson, who was a longtime United Airlines flight attendant, says: “I’ve had situations where I’d sort of sit in the aisle and hold someone’s hand.”
On a Frontier Airlines flight last year from Detroit to San Diego, Campbell tried breathing and other coping skills, but they didn’t halt her panic attack. The passenger next to her noticed she was increasingly anxious, and summoned a flight attendant.
The flight attendant took deep breaths with Campbell and helped her get through it, and also took down Campbell’s phone number and checked on her a day later.Miranda urged Pride events to have direct calls to action and take a more political approach this year, including by looking to the 2026 elections.
Susan Appleton, professor of women, gender. and sexuality studies at the Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, said the nation’s culture and society, “including law,”. But, she said, “I think we’re in a very unusual time when the targets have become very explicit and when for many years we haven’t seen the lack of empathy that we see now.”
“But I do think it’s encouraging to me to see that there is a vigorous resistance,” she said. “I don’t know whether it will accomplish anything, but I think it is important to make sure that all voices are heard.”That people are facing multiple grievances, she said, now shows “it’s not sufficient to look at race alone or gender alone or sexuality alone but all those factors.” They intersect and “create unique vectors of oppression.”
