A couple of days after I read this, my son, while swimming, happened to get into the deeper side of the pool. He started to drown and his friend had to pull him out. I was there too.

Later that night, in the bed, he told me that he is not able to sleep as he is still feeling as if he is drowning and is feeling that he is dead. So, I tapped on him "Even though I am scared that I am drowning...Even though I feel I am dead...". After a couple of rounds, he said that he still is feeling that way, but it is better. After a few more rounds, he said that he could now sleep and he immediately dozed off.

The next day, he again wanted to get into the pool -- there was no fear!
