Also agree that this process isn’t successful but for different reasons. Firstly, if someone is having panic-based blocks and engages in significant avoidance behaviors, they absolutely want and need *help*”. Problem is, they don’t understand the help they need is to learn to let others hear their repetitions. This technique doesn’t address the root problem at all, plus it reinforces the panic by suggesting “deep breath” which is going to reinforce the panic for the majority of people, and is biologically completely unnecessary.
