DW:Three more deep breaths. Okay, Katie let’s revisit the word trapped. Notice how you feel when I say the word trapped. No feeling is wrong, so don’t push it away. Just experience it. Trapped. Trapped. Trapped. Where are you trapped, Katie? What has you trapped, Katie?
Blonnnnng. Blonnnng. Blonnnng.
K:I don't know. I don't know. I just feel...trapped. And scared.
Blonnnnng. Blonnnng. Blonnnng.
DW:Then let's use your senses. What do you see Katie?
K:I see...the floor. Just a floor. Beige carpet.
DW:What else? Can you see what is trapping you?
K:No, nuh-uh, it’s dark…I think. And just the floor.
Blonnnnng. Blonnnng. Blonnnng.
DW:What do you feel Katie? Not inside. Not emotionally. What do you feel with your hands and your feet and your skin? When I say trapped what do you feel?
K:I…I can’t feel anything. My hands, my hands, my legs I don’t feel them at all. What’s going on? I’m…I’m…I can’t feel anything, I can’t feel anything!
DW:Just breathe Katie. Breathe, you have the power.
K:I can’t feel my hands, oh god I’m scared, this isn't working, why can’t I feel my hands? I don’t want to do this…
DW:You have the power to do this. Just breathe.
K:But I can’t-
Blonnnnng. Blonnnng. Blonnnng.
DW:Katie let’s move on. Three deep breaths.
K:But….
DW:Three deep breaths please.
Blonnnnng. Blonnnng. Blonnnng.
DW:Now what do you hear when I say trapped Katie? What sounds do you hear when I say trapped? Breathe and think. Breathe and notice. Trapped. What sounds do you hear when I say trapped?
K:I don’t know…a door…maybe? Like a squeak of a hinge…a handle. I, I, I really don’t know.
DW:What else? What else do you hear?
K:Voices. I think I hear voices.
DW:What are they saying?
K:I don’t…there are too many and it’s all muffled. It’s like too many voices. I can’t make them…out. I can’t make them make sense.
Don’t make assumptions
Breathe
Silly girl
How much?
