Instructions: If you are having a panic attack and your device cannot play the audio at www.stopyourpanicattack.com, ask the person next to you to read the following to you:
Okay. I am going to lead you in a memory exercise developed to stop your panic attack. Here is how it works: I will say five numbers, and then you will repeat those numbers back to me. Let’s begin.

It has been another couple of minutes. Are you feeling any better?
If not, it could mean that your “panic attack” is actually something more serious. In which case I would suggest you seek medical assistance.
Otherwise, if you would like, we can continue for another couple of minutes.

Well that should have done it. Are you feeling better?
If not, I am sorry that did not work for you. It could mean that your “panic attack” is actually something more serious. Therefore, I suggest you seek medical assistance.
Otherwise, I am glad I was able to help.
