Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mrs. Nováková. How have you been managing since our last session here at the Newcastle clinic, particularly with the panic attacks you mentioned?
Bylo to docela těžké, paní doktorko. Minulý týden jsem měla tři záchvaty paniky, ale naštěstí jsem nemusela jet na pohotovost.
That sounds really stressful. Did the breathing exercise we practiced together last time help at all when you felt an attack starting?
Pomohlo mi to trochu, ale jenom pokud jsem to cvičení stihla udělat hned na začátku, jinak to vůbec nezabíralo.
Let's also try a simple grounding technique this week—naming five things you can see, hear, and touch whenever you start feeling anxious.
To zní dobře, zkusím to doma. Mám si zase psát deník jako minule, nebo stačí jen počítat ty věci nahlas?
Yes, please keep a short journal for the next two weeks, noting when the anxiety starts and what helps you calm down.
Rozumím. A co léky? Myslíte, že bych měla začít něco brát na úzkost, nebo je ještě brzy?
I can't prescribe medication myself, but I can refer you to your regular GP for a review if things don't improve over the coming weeks.
Děkuji moc. Můžeme si tedy domluvit další schůzku na příští čtvrtek?
Thursday works well—let's meet at 10 am here at the Newcastle clinic, and we'll review your journal together then.
Skvělé, čtvrtek v deset mi vyhovuje. Do té doby budu psát deník a zkusím to dýchací cvičení pravidelně.

Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
