YOU should try the pressure point/ t-touch massage when it is NOT a boomer. Do it daily. THen when one does come you can use your key words, (whatever you say during the massage) to calm them down. I believe it will work. EVentually they will learn to not fear the storm but to look forward to the massage...and even if you can't get to a place where you can do that, the words will start the calming process. Deeper breathing, release of panic.
