In this episode, we continue working with Jeff and begin going through each of the things that caused panic attacks; driving, exercise, and then flying (the big one!). Traci explains to Jeff that the panic attacks are actually trying to protect him (and possibly distract) him from the real issue, which is the loss of control of his life. It's his body's way of saying that he's not safe and that something needs to change, only when it finally speaks it's when Jeff is doing something like driving, exercising, or flying...and then Jeff naturally equates the panic attacks to those activities instead of the real issues. Traci and Jeff work through driving and exercise, leaving only 9 minutes for flying...which means Jeff gets to come back in a future episode.
KEY POINTS:
- Jeff and Traci work through the panic attacks and exercise, with Jeff watching himself in a movie starring Gabriel Iglesias aka "Fluffy."
- Jeff worries about being politically incorrect during his session, so Traci has to switch tactics.
- Jeff begins to see the connections, and is able to let go.
- When working on exercise, Jeff is able to work his issue down enough that he can contain "the flames" in a box that says "In case of emergency, break glass."
- Traci and Jeff begin working through his fear of flying, before running out of time.
- Jeff got a lot out of the session.
QUOTABLES:
"My lack of control over my situation, that was the problem."
"If that panic attack didn't happen, your life would be completely different."
"Definitely some thoughts dancing around in there but I think for the most part, it's much better now than it was the first time around."
"It's not only keeping you safe, but it's keeping you from enjoying life."
"Physical aspects of my body chemistry are finally getting into alignment."
"I envision myself with a hammer and a glass case with a little piece of wire."
