Calming Sentence Starters

Please, please, please if you're here for someone else's sake memorize these phrases. Know them by heart.

They can help, so so very much.

No, it won't fix it, but I know if I heard these when I had a panic or anxiety attack that it'd at least give me something else to focus on. So there's that, I guess.

Oh yeah, if you do the 'just breathe' one, give them something to mimic. Say, "Deep breaths. Like this. *inhale slowly* *hold for three to five seconds* *exhale slowly* *repeat*" Wait until they match your breathing completely, and maybe even a few minutes afterwords, to start breathing regularly again. Just to be safe.
