panique!
i ask her to think of a time when she was really scared.
i tell her to remember how it felt -
the terrors, the sweat, the heart racing -
to feel it now, in the living room
with the Persian rugs and antiques.
she doesn't understand.
why would she feel it now,
in her own house, where she is safe?
i tell her
that's a panic attack.
