Steps:
1. Ground with 1 full breath in through the nose, out slow through the mouth.
2. Out loud: “That’s my body scanning, not my truth.”
3. Clap once, stand up, and shake arms for 10 seconds.
4. Redirect: name 3 real things in the room right now.
Repeat 2–3 times. Over time your body learns the “what if” doesn’t need to be chased.
