Now what was the real

problem???

How are you doing at the moment?

How come it’s not worse?

What’s working?

How will you know when matters have improved a little?

What difference will that make to you/others?

What else?

How will that help?

Who would you like to notice that you are managing well?

How will that help?

Finally

Notice when you reduce panic stress reactions

Notice when people respond positively to your efforts

Notice as you move up the scale

Notice at the end of your day 3 things which you would like to remember as positive actions or reactions

Start the day by recalling these considerations
