We ask first responders to move toward crisis when the rest of us move away. We expect calm decision-making, emotional regulation, and clarity under pressure. But even the most capable professionals still have nervous systems. If we want steadiness in high-pressure moments, we have to take care of the people making those decisions. Oxygen first is not selfish. It is survival.
