I can't do a body scan with a voice in the room with me. But if i use safe, familiar music, it works pretty well. The voice just weirds me out - not quite a trigger, but almost.

When I work with little kids to teach them self-calming, I use Sesame Street songs - especially Ernie singing "Up Goes the Castle" which is a breathing song. It makes them smile but they all focus on their tummies and breath in and out. So it works.

The other thing I learned is to let your toes and fingers be your outlet. So if you start to feel weird breathing, breath out all the way through your toes or fingers. It lets you concentrate on pushing the anxiety out, out, out or down, down, down and out.

I hope you find something that works.
