When they previewed the next show, In An Instant: Rush Hour Disaster, it was about the Minneapolis 35W Bridge Collapse. I felt like I had to watch, then, it showed my former co-worker, Lindsay Walz, and I felt even more compelled to watch. I would guess that the majority of Minnesotans were watching and reliving this. Most of us know where we were on that day and how the collapse affected us.
Therapists talk a lot about exposure therapy and I feel that this blog describes it well. Check out Lindsay Walz's blog. She is a change maker and survivor of the bridge collapse. She has a non-profit called Courageous HeARTS, an arts-based nonprofit youth center which helps young people use creativity to build courage.
