Levi AOT - Panic Attack

Transcript

All right, I understand that you are very stressed right now, but look at me. I need you to relax. This will do you no good.

Look at me and breathe. Now tell me. Tell me three things in this room that are white.

Go. Good. Yes.

Nice. Now listen. I want you to look around the room again, and I want you to tell me three things that are red.

Go. Mm-hmm. Right.

Correct. All right. Now I want you to go back to breathing.

Look at me. Breathe. Mm-hmm.

Inhale through your nose, and then after that, exhale through your mouth, and be very intentional about how you do it. Very good. Now keep looking at me.

Don't look anywhere else. I want your attention to be focused on me. That way, we can get you back under control and relaxed.

I know that things are crazy right now. Things might be happening that you are not used to, things that you cannot control, but all you need to understand, truly understand, is that you can control yourself, and I am here to help you with that. Okay? You still seem very stressed.

I need you to relax. Look at me again. Breathe.

Control your breathing. Here, take my hand. Now look at me.

Everything shall be okay. I can promise you that. I am right here with you.

Now breathe. Tell me four items that are black in this room. Go.

Tell me four items that are black in this room. Go. Yes.

Uh-huh. Good. Very good.

Keep breathing. Control it. Now tell me two items that are pink.

Go. Good. Very good.

Now keep looking into my eyes, and don't stray away. This is the only way that we can make sure that you are okay, that I can make sure that you will get through this, because I truly know that you will. You'll get through this.

I have no doubt about that, because you are capable of so much more, and you are willing to push through for yourself and for everyone else, but most importantly, for yourself, and that is all that matters. All right. You seem to be getting a little bit more calm.

Good. Very good. Here, let me keep massaging your hand, okay? I won't leave you until you're completely fine, I promise.

Yes. You don't need to worry about anything else. I'm here, and you're doing great.

Now I do have another question for you that I think will help you. I need to understand, I need to know, what are you having for dinner tonight? I just want to make sure that you are okay, and this is something that I love to talk about.

It is food. A lot of people don't really know this about me, but I love to talk about food. A lot of people don't really know this about me, but I love to talk about food, and right now it's taking your mind off of it, is it not?

So what are you having, and may I join you? Yes? Great.

Now again, look at me. Take one last big inhale, and then exhale. You'll be completely fine.

No need to worry. I will see you later for dinner, okay? Good.

Look at me. I am so glad that you feel better.
