A man signed up for a consultation. We worked via Skype. Young, outwardly attractive, a loving and beloved husband, and an adored father by his daughter. He was also successful in his career, but about 2 months ago, he started experiencing dizziness to the point of blackout. He explained it to himself as panic attacks.

-  What does it feel like? 

-  I'm swaying like during a storm. I'm running out of air, I can't breathe. 

-  When and where do you experience it now?

-  On the way to work, in the car, and it frightens me, and sometimes even at the office, at the workplace. 

-  Try to remember when you first experienced this?

It was difficult. Then I suggested to draw or mark this state with some symbol and to tell where it is located in the body. In the drawing, he depicted vertical waves, and it looked like tears streaming from wide-open eyes.

-  When and under what circumstances did you cry a lot?

-  At my grandfather's funeral. He was like a father to me, and he left so suddenly. In the evening, we were still fixing the roof, and at night he died in his sleep of an aneurysm. 

-  What happened suddenly about two months ago?

 - Left, or rather, my manager was made to leave. We were on the same wavelength. We understood each other at a glance and created many successful projects together.

- You drew waves, and you're swaying in these states. Let's imagine or fantasize about what happens when something happens to the captain during a storm. What do you know about it? 

- The captain's assistant takes his place.

- You were the captain's assistant, and now you are managing the ship,- he laughs.

 - Not anymore because a new captain was appointed.

- And how do you find him?

- Neither fish nor flesh.

- Have you ever communicated with such people before? - he thought.

- Yes, exactly, I remembered, I was 10, we moved into a new apartment, and he was the only boy in our yard. My best childhood years, I spent with this bore. 

- You're 32 now, you're a happy husband and father, you have a job, a status. What more do you need to feel that your best adult years are being lived with pleasure or the way you want. While you're thinking, you can transform the vertical waves in the drawing into another sign. 

- It turned into a sun.

- What is the sun for you?

- It's about warmth, brightness, positivity, I love the color yellow. And you know, I remembered, my wife, daughter, and I started practicing riding bikes to watch the sunsets. And I realized - I'm really looking forward to summer, I want to go to the countryside and enjoy every minute spent with them, now I can afford it. And then we will see...
