Lorelei looked up at him, concerned. "Hey, hey, hey, its okay, you're okay. Everythings fine," she reassured him gently. "Did you have a bad dream?" she asked.
|

|
|

|
"I don't remember...I'm scared..." He said, him beginning to drown
|

|

Lorelei gave him a soft, worried looked. "Hey, you're okay," she whispered. "You're okay, you're just having an anxiety attack," she explained softly, leaded him back over to the bed. "Kai, tell me 5 things you can see," she spoke softly. (The 54321 method is a was to help stop anxiety attacks)

|
"You, the bed, the pillows, my shoes, your eyes." He rattled off
|
|  |
|
|

|
Lorelei smiled and nodded softly. "Okay, now two deep breaths," she whispered, helping him through it. "Tell me 4 things you can touch," she said softly after he'd taken his deep breaths.

|
Kai nodded and followed her directions. "The floor, the bed, you, and I don't know"
|
|  |
|
|

|
Lorelei rubbed his hand gently. "You can touch the blankets, right?" she offered softly. She led him through another two deep breaths before asking another question. "Can you tell me 3 things you can hear?"
|
|
|
|

|
"Your voice, your breath, my heartbeat" He said, quieter
|
|  |
|
|

|
Lorelei nodded and smiled, "Good," she whispered encouragingly. She guided him through two more breaths, "Can you tell me 2 things you can smell?"
|
|
|
|

|
"You, which is a comfort for me, and my cologne"
