  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in.
• 0:24
  Then long, slow, deep, relaxing breath, and as you exhale, allow
• 0:35
  your eyelids to close and with your eyes closed, feel a sense
• 0:42
  of release, releasing tension, stress and worry in your outward
• 0:50
  breath. Breathe in a feeling of calm
• 0:58
  relaxation, and on that long outward breath, give permission
• 1:10
  to your body to let go of any thoughts, worries, or feelings
• 1:19
  that have been bothering you either recently or in the past.
• 1:32
  Breathing in, that feeling of calmness.
• 1:38
  And as you exhale, just imagine as you're breathing out, it's
• 1:43
  like gently blowing on hot food or blowing out a candle that's
• 1:49
  far away. Slow, easy, controlled.
• 2:00
  And each time you breathe out your chest, your stomach relaxes
• 2:07
  even more. Not forced, just relaxing and
• 2:14
  loosening. And maybe your shoulders drop
• 2:22
  and your jaw relaxes. Maybe you notice your hands
• 2:31
  becoming still or twitching slightly, and you may even
• 2:37
  notice that your body already knows how to calm down and
• 2:50
  position your body in such a way where you can really feel safe,
• 2:55
  calm and relaxed. The deeper you breathe, the more
• 3:02
  relaxed you feel, and the more relaxed you feel, the deeper you
• 3:08
  breathe. And as your body relaxes, your
• 3:14
  imagination awakens. And I wonder if you can imagine
• 3:25
  a place where you feel completely safe.
• 3:32
  Maybe it's your room, your home, or a place you've been to
• 3:39
  because this is your imagination.
• 3:41
  It could even be a made-up place that doesn't exist, but you
• 3:46
  still feel safe. And in this place, I want you to
• 3:55
  imagine people that you love and love you that are there to help
• 4:05
  people who notice, people who come if you need them.
• 4:12
  Maybe you can imagine your mother, your father on hand if
• 4:17
  you need them. And in this place, within your
• 4:22
  imagination, you are never alone when you don't feel well.
• 4:32
  I don't need to notice what this place feels like.
• 4:37
  A safe place with help when needed.
• 4:42
  A place where feeling safe doesn't mean that nothing
• 4:46
  uncomfortable ever happens. Here, in this place, safe means
• 4:54
  that if something does happen, you are supported and just allow
• 5:03
  that thought to hold, to sink in.
• 5:11
  And now imagine the screen, maybe the kind of screen that
• 5:17
  you would watch a movie on or play a video game.
• 5:23
  And on that screen is playing a movie about a boy who had a
• 5:32
  really difficult evening while on that residential school trip.
• 5:40
  And you're not inside the memory.
• 5:43
  You're watching it like you're in a cinema, watching it on on a
• 5:49
  big screen. And in that movie, the boy
• 5:55
  didn't feel well. I want you to observe that boy
• 6:00
  vomiting not just once or twice, but for a long time.
• 6:06
  Maybe when others were sleeping, but they were vomiting for
• 6:09
  hours. And the hardest part wasn't the
• 6:15
  feeling in the stomach, it was feeling that they had to deal
• 6:20
  with it all by themself And just notice that and then pause that
• 6:29
  movie, freeze it, rewind it to before the vomiting even
• 6:36
  happened. And then imagine something
• 6:40
  different happening. I want you to imagine on that
• 6:45
  same residential, your parents were there.
• 6:50
  And when you start to feel nauseous or vomit, help is
• 6:55
  immediately on hand. Calm, kind, steady.
• 7:05
  These helpers sit beside that boy and they bring water.
• 7:15
  They ask if they're OK. They stay and they say I'm here.
• 7:27
  Watch that new movie and notice how you feel different and you
• 7:33
  can make that boy you if you want.
• 7:36
  Watch it again, and then rewind and then play the movie again.
• 7:48
  And as you play it again, suddenly that boy doesn't look
• 7:55
  so anxious, stressed or scared or worried.
• 8:01
  They still don't like the vomit, but they don't feel that it's
• 8:07
  unmanageable. And once you've seen it again,
• 8:14
  rewind it again. But then imagine going into the
• 8:18
  screen and feeling what you would feel like if, while on
• 8:25
  that residential school trip, people that cared were with you
• 8:34
  when you started to vomit. They had water medicine.
• 8:40
  They wanted to make sure you were OK and notice what it feels
• 8:47
  like when you didn't feel that you were alone and just allow
• 8:55
  that new memory to connect somewhere in your body, your
• 9:01
  chest, your gut, your head, how it feels different.
• 9:11
  Imagine leaving that memory and still being in that safe place,
• 9:16
  perhaps near that big screen, and then bring your attention to
• 9:22
  your stomach, your gut, and just to check it and just to notice.
• 9:28
  And I want you to imagine inside your body there's a a dial, A
• 9:38
  control switch, the kind of thing that you could change the
• 9:43
  volume of an old radio. And when you breathe out slowly,
• 9:51
  that dial turns down from an 8 to A7 to A6 to A5 to a four.
• 10:01
  And you're not forcing it to 0 just turning it down so you feel
• 10:06
  comfortable because your body listens to your breathing, and
• 10:15
  those long outward breaths can help calm your body so it
• 10:21
  doesn't feel like it's in danger or that something bad may
• 10:25
  happen. So every long slow exhale tells
• 10:33
  your stomach, your body calm down and let's try it now.
• 10:40
  A big slow breath in, but an even longer breath out.
• 10:50
  And just imagine dialing down just one number, and maybe that
• 10:57
  number represents nausea or worry, discomfort.
• 11:05
  But each time you have a long breath out, it reduces by one
• 11:12
  number, just dials it down. And I want you to imagine what
• 11:18
  it would feel like, that you are learning control with that long
• 11:24
  outward breath. And there's something important,
• 11:34
  a new way of thinking. Vomiting is unpleasant.
• 11:39
  Nobody likes to feel sick. But it is temporary and it's not
• 11:47
  dangerous. And it doesn't mean that you're
• 11:51
  on your own. And there will be sometimes that
• 11:56
  your body needs to do it and it does it, and then it stops.
• 12:09
  And sometimes, sometimes there's big storms that happen but don't
• 12:16
  last very long, but they always pass.
• 12:24
  And I want you to say quietly, just in your mind, even if I
• 12:30
  feel sick, I can handle it. Even if I feel nauseous, I can
• 12:39
  manage. And even if I do vomit, I can
• 12:48
  cope. And it's not because it's nice,
• 12:53
  it's because you are stronger than the nausea, stronger than
• 12:58
  the vomit. And each time you feel that you
• 13:03
  can manage it well, it makes you stronger for the next time.
• 13:12
  And I want you to think of a memory before that school trip.
• 13:18
  Maybe you can see yourself on that screen again with your
• 13:24
  friends or with your family, going about places.
• 13:31
  I don't need to Think of a time when even if you ate a lot, even
• 13:36
  if you were eating spicy food, you didn't feel worried.
• 13:40
  You didn't feel scared and just step into that version of you,
• 13:48
  like putting on clothes, but you're just back inside that
• 13:54
  version of you. Like you're a character in a
• 13:57
  computer game experiencing the world through their eyes.
• 14:03
  And I want you to breathe how that version of you breathed.
• 14:07
  Think what they thought. Think of a time when you felt
• 14:11
  nauseous all the way back then and think that way again.
• 14:21
  You don't like it, but you know that you can manage.
• 14:26
  And that version of you, it's still here.
• 14:30
  Nothing was taken away. But after that residential, your
• 14:35
  brain just went into protection mode.
• 14:41
  And that may have been useful for a few days, but you don't
• 14:45
  have to stay there. And even if there are loud
• 14:49
  noises or scary news, your brain knows how to tell the difference
• 14:55
  between real danger and things that just seem a bit scary.
• 15:06
  But not every loud sound means something's wrong, and not every
• 15:12
  time you feel nausea means you're going to be sick.
• 15:21
  These feelings that you have, these sensations don't mean
• 15:25
  you're alone. If you need to be sick, your
• 15:31
  body will be sick, but that doesn't have to mean you're on
• 15:36
  your own or that you can't handle it.
• 15:40
  So take another slow breath out and dial down one more number,
• 15:47
  and maybe it's already at four or three or two.
• 15:52
  Every outward breath that's intentional takes it one number
• 15:56
  lower. The nausea decreases, any
• 16:00
  anxiety or worry decreases, and I want you to imagine a future
• 16:07
  moment that hasn't happened yet. A time when you feel a bit
• 16:14
  nauseous, queasy in your gut, a sensation in your stomach.
• 16:23
  Not big, something mild. And then imagine what you feel,
• 16:30
  that feeling. You breathe out slowly and
• 16:34
  imagine dialing down that sensation, reducing it.
• 16:41
  And you've done that before. You've played a video game where
• 16:46
  the volume was so high and you know how to turn down the
• 16:49
  volume. So just imagine you can turn
• 16:52
  down that sensation. You remember that you're not
• 16:57
  alone and that feeling gets less and less so that your body
• 17:04
  doesn't panic or escalate. And just imagine that future
• 17:10
  moment where you feel that you can handle it, just like you did
• 17:15
  in the past before that residential.
• 17:22
  You are not fragile, your body is strong.
• 17:27
  There were people around you that care, and you were learning
• 17:31
  to be the boss, the leader. And every time you breathe out
• 17:41
  long and slow, you're training your nervous system to relax and
• 17:47
  calm down. Every time you calm down, even
• 17:53
  for 10 seconds, your body can cope better than it did before
• 18:00
  and you don't have to feel perfect.
• 18:04
  You can just remember that you are supported, you are safe, you
• 18:11
  can handle discomfort. That's it.
• 18:16
  It's time to leave this place in your imagination.
• 18:19
  So just imagine leaving any screens or memories or ideas of
• 18:24
  the future and returning all the way to your present.
• 18:31
  Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 18:36
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers, wiggle
• 18:40
  your toes. Connect with your body right now
• 18:46
  as I count from 1:00 to 10:00 and you will awaken feeling
• 18:52
  calmer and I'm confident about the future.
• 18:58
  Starting to count 123 Waking up 456.
• 19:04
  More alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 19:08
  Open your eyes, 910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 19:14
  awake.
