Relax armchair

A worried man arrives and starts talking quickly. I don't understand anything, I'm slowing him down.

"Take it easy, calm down, everything will be fine."

He finally sat down in the relax armchair and started to breathe. Deep breathing, inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth, inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth... We are slowly rebalancing. Mozart's music solves the problem in the background and he was not even aware that his breathing was relaxed.

Breathe slowly, no matter how scared you are. A panic attack can be life-threatening. Always remember these words and just breathe.

The story begins after half an hour of breathing.

"I lost my job. I have three small children and a housing loan."

Panic attack again, but he remembered breathing and started to control the situation. We talked, Mozart's music was over. He just told me to let it go again and kept talking. My story doesn't help him, Mozart's notes help him. He found the solution himself, he was not even aware of it. Conversation, breathing and music are key. Some things we can't change. He got fired, so he got it, that's what we can't change. But we can stay calm, poised and find the best solution to the current situation. He left calm and sure he had solutions, just because he was alive and well, of course. I looked like a squeezed lemon at the time, literally like that. It doesn’t matter what we achieved, I helped one worried man.

I have been in this business for a long time. I have been carefully listening to the needs of children for 10 years. This is my first time meeting an adult. What I know for sure is that you need to listen to anyone who complains to you and expects help from you. Try not to interrupt. When a man gathers courage and shares a problem with someone unknown, he feels relieved only because he has shared the problem with someone. That will sometimes be enough to solve the problem.

Thanks for reading.
