What was said
"When you're feeling anxious, just saying to yourself, am I safe in this moment? Am I in this moment that I'm in right now? For her was the biggest tip that I've ever given her as far as her anxiety goes. She said, Dad, you have to tell them this."
Kennedy shared that his daughter Leandra's anxiety was resolved by repeatedly asking herself whether she is safe in the present moment. This technique grounds anxious individuals in the now rather than future worry, and Kennedy presented it as the single most effective intervention from his entire framework.
