Chapter 26 - Breathing

It's OK, you're going to be fine. Just remember to breathe.

In, 234. Out, 234.

In, 234. Out, 234.

I know it hurts, but remember: it's old pain, it's not happening now.

In, 234. Out, 234.

Ignore your nose, you know it can't be trusted, but what do you hear?

What's making the noise?

Damn it, you've forgotten to breathe!

In, now! 234. Now out, 234.

Keep going, 234.

You've got this, 234.

Try walking or moving around.

It sometimes helps.

Keep breathing!

What do you feel?

What do you actually feel, not what do you think you feel?

What else feels like that?

You forgot to breathe again!

In, 234. In, now! Now out, 234. You've got this!

Remember, you're safe now! You're not trapped. It's why we're pacing.

Slow your breath a little, it's getting too fast.

Don't stop completely.

I said DON'T stop!

In, 234. Out, 234.

Keep going, 234. Out, 234.

Keep counting, 234.

Keep walking, 234.

Our heart rate is slowing down, 234.

It's almost done, 234.

In, 234. Out, 234. In, 234. Out, 234. In.
