I literally get sweaty palms reading all your stuff lately about coasters hahaha. It took me a long time to get over the intense belly/heart swooping sensation of coasters but I also now love them. Still a no to falling/elevator type rides but love a good coaster!
I also love this next level of fun/action-based integration practice you're cultivating for yourself and clients!! so fucking cool.
i haven't tried the drop towers yet! when i was little my brother told me my hair could get caught and ripped off my head and i would just be a skull, so i ruled them out LOL
but i feel like Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom at six flags is something i have to do at some point. even if i hate it lol, just need to check it off the list!
The way you describe it is exactly my own experience with eejanaika, closed my eyes, felt like a 3 minutes long accident, tensed up all along and my body ached at the end 🥲 i think i got surprised because i really didn't know what i signed up for
but then i'd still get the adrenaline rush and be excited between rides, it's so weird!
Also I got more scared because i was always sitting next to the scared friend and i'd pick up their anxiety on top of my own "why are you screaming wait are we gonna die stop screaming ahaaaaa"
maybe one day, i'll be braver too and learn to surrender! for now i'll just do more breathwork 😂
ok but that ride you mentioned fucks up people who absolutely live for this. HAHAHA - mine was a kiddie coaster! I just watched this terrible POV vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3_lYE0Uhno and I hate this type of coaster because you get hurt on it. Banged around and everything.
also omg on being an empath and feeling everyone else's anxiety!!! yes!!!!
I would recommend other coasters for practicing surrender. eejanaika is like... welcome to hell! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
OMG I didn't expect this to be such an emotional read. I am feeling for little Michelle and I'm also seeing my own version of this. My rollercoaster conversation is a conversation about control, but it's also a conversation about Shoulds and boundaries! When I went with you to Six Flags a few weeks ago, it was actually really important for me to decide in advance that I was a no to Kingda Ka because of the Shoulds/boundaries that have ruined my experience of rollercoastering in the past. More to discuss but thank you for this amazing and vulnerable post, it's so visceral, I feel the "fraud" and the release in my body from how you have written them.
THANK YOU LAURA. I was glad you were honest with me, I have no interest in forcing anyone onto rides they don't want to go on. At theme parks, and in life in general ◡̈ Plus, Kingda Ka is mental. HAHAHAHA. I don't even think I like it very much? I could never go on it again and be fine with that. Nitro, however... 😏
love this!!! ❤️
