I am interested in discussing the impact of a true biz 911 emergency call with anyone that has experienced one. I am not looking for call content. I am looking to better understand the thoughts and emotions that you experienced during these emergency events. If you do not wish to discuss them on this board we can do it in private emails.
I always take a break after. Not all interpreters do, but it just gives me the shakes, and I feel I have to take a moment to de-escalate from the call before beginning the next one. Maybe this isn't the information you were looking for, but I have been surprised to see other interpreters take very scary calls, and then not log off afterward. Maybe I have a need that they don't. Even if it's brief, I need a moment. I would encourage other interpreters to do the same thing, at the very least.
