your physiological responses.

-Just to relax posture as well.
-Look at you showing off.

And what I also need you to do
is to put this over your head...

-All right.
-...and this part
136
00:07:13,809 --> 00:07:15,394
should be right around there.

a better understanding

00:07:27,615 --> 00:07:30,284
of how his mind affects his body.
142
00:07:30,451 --> 00:07:31,911
MODUPE; So, you see your blood pressure...
143
00:07:32,036 --> 00:07:32,995
Blood pressure, huh?
144
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,831
...we see your breathing rate,
your heart rate here.
145
00:07:36,123 --> 00:07:37,500
-Got it.
-You know, right now,
146
00:07:37,583 --> 00:07:38,959
you're at 65 beats per minute.
147
00:07:39,043 --> 00:07:42,630
So, this is going to be
what I consider your baseline
148
00:07:42,713 --> 00:07:45,132
and then compare everything to that.
149
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:49,512
So, I've checked Chris’s heart rate
when he's relaxed,
150
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:51,805
and I'm gonna see how it changes
151
00:07:52,097 --> 00:07:54,350
when he's doing something
that's stressful for him.
152
00:07:54,892 --> 00:07:56,727

-Yeah?

of the crane walk.

00:08:03,025 --> 00:08:06,487

is walk across that plank.
156
00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:08,113
And off you go.

that it’s not real.
164

"This is crazy! What are we doing?

"We’re gonna die!”
I feel it in my stomach.

00:08:34,431 --> 00:08:38,310
The same nervous energy that I’d have
if I was actually standing on a building.
167
00:08:39,687 --> 00:08:43,148
MODUPE: So, his heart rate was at like 65
and it’s definitely going up.
168
00:08:43,899 --> 00:08:46,569
His breathing rate is going up,
it was around 12 before.
169
00:08:47,194 --> 00:08:48,279
There’s definitely some fear.
170
00:08:49,238 --> 00:08:52,032
It feels super unsteady now!
171
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:54,618
This is... I can’t do it! (CHUCKLES)
172
00:08:55,786 --> 00:08:58,455
MODUPE: Even though there’s
no real danger to Chris
173
00:08:58,581 --> 00:09:02,042
his brain is perceiving threat,
his stress is kicking in.
174
00:09:02,418 --> 00:09:05,170
It’s the classic fight-or-flight response.
175
00:09:06,005 --> 00:09:08,465
(CHUCKLES)
176
00:09:09,717 --> 00:09:11,719
CHRIS: When my brain senses
something stressful,
177
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,054
it’s like a switch is flipped.
178
00:09:14,972 --> 00:09:17,933
My nerves send my whole system
into overdrive...
179
00:09:18,976 --> 00:09:22,813
triggering a flood of hormones
into my bloodstream.
180
00:09:23,272 --> 00:09:28,360
My breathing speeds up,
my heart starts racing, I feel wired.
181
00:09:29,862 --> 00:09:35,284
In moments of danger, that energy surge
would help me fight or run away.
182
00:09:36,702 --> 00:09:42,333
Then when it's over, my stress circuit
should switch off. No harm done.
183
00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:45,210
But when our stress doesn't go away,
184
00:09:45,878 --> 00:09:49,423
one of those hormones,
cortisol, keeps on flowing...
185
00:09:51,050 --> 00:09:54,136
and our fight or flight circuit
can’t fully shut down.
186
00:09:55,471 --> 00:10:00,142
Over time, we get burnt out,
which can lead to high blood pressure,
187
00:10:00,351 --> 00:10:04,229
a misfiring immune system,
and elevated blood sugar.
188
00:10:04,772 --> 00:10:07,399
All increasing the risk of deadly disease.
189
00:10:10,736 --> 00:10:12,780
(SIGHS) So weird.
190
00:10:13,697 --> 00:10:15,074
How did my heart rate increase?
191
00:10:15,157 --> 00:10:17,159
So, here’s what’s really interesting
is that you... it was...
192
00:10:17,242 --> 00:10:20,287
as you were going up,
it increased to give you the energy
193
00:10:20,371 --> 00:10:22,289
and mobilize you to do
what you need to do.
194
00:10:22,873 --> 00:10:26,085
The problem is, if you end up having
that elevated level like,
195
00:10:26,168 --> 00:10:28,337
throughout the day,
that’s when things become,
196
00:10:28,629 --> 00:10:30,422
um, less healthy, less functional.
197
00:10:30,673 --> 00:10:33,717
Because that would mean
that your body is not shutting down
198
00:10:34,009 --> 00:10:36,053
and turning off, and resting
the way it needs to.
199
00:10:36,136 --> 00:10:39,640
What it made me think was, like,
"This is gonna suck when I really do it."
200
00:10:39,932 --> 00:10:41,517
And that is what
we’re gonna be working on!
201
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,560
Yeah. Zoc. You've got to have a go!
202
00:10:45,187 --> 00:10:47,523
My buddy, Zoc
really doesn’t like heights...
203
00:10:47,648 --> 00:10:48,732
-Now, here we go.
-Oh, my God.
204
00:10:49,108 --> 00:10:53,112
...so I figure this is a chance
to push his fight or flight to the max.
205
00:10:53,487 --> 00:10:54,988
ZOC: Oh, what the... (BLEEP)
206
00:10:57,700 --> 00:11:00,244
(SHUDDERS) Oh, boy.
207
00:11:02,329 --> 00:11:04,998
-No. No.
-(MODUPE CHUCKLES)
208
00:11:05,249 --> 00:11:07,960
-Go. Let's go. Go.
-Oh, man. I'm full shaking, dude.
209
00:11:08,043 --> 00:11:09,253
-AARON: Look at his legs.
-CHRIS: Go.
210
00:11:09,378 --> 00:11:10,295
-I can't do it.
-Do it.
211
00:11:10,421 --> 00:11:11,755
-Do it.
-AARON: Come on, Zoc.
212
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:13,382
-CHRIS: Go, go, go.
-Come on, come on, come on.
213
00:11:13,465 --> 00:11:14,466
I can't do it.
214
00:11:14,717 --> 00:11:16,552
Go, go, go. Just take three,
four steps, go.
215
00:11:16,635 --> 00:11:18,470
-MODUPE: Nice.
-Go, go, go.
216
00:11:19,555 --> 00:11:21,265
-Come on, Zoochie.
-AARON: Come on, Zoc.
217
00:11:21,890 --> 00:11:23,559
MODUPE: Keep talking to yourself,
it's helping.
218
00:11:23,684 --> 00:11:24,852
I've got this, Luke. I've got this.
219
00:11:25,018 --> 00:11:26,270
(BLEEP) I'm full sh... (BLEEP)

-(YELPS)
-(ALL CHUCKLE)
221
00:11:29,857 --> 00:11:34,361
It's so real! That is so real.
I felt like I was falling.
222
00:11:35,070 --> 00:11:38,073
-You don't understand how real that is.
-What do you mean?
223
00:11:38,615 --> 00:11:40,033
(ALL LAUGHING)
224
00:11:40,451 --> 00:11:43,036
-Dude, that is so...
-CHRIS: Okay, I may not be as bad as Zoc,
225
00:11:43,287 --> 00:11:45,330
but to be honest,
I'm really not that keen on heights,
226
00:11:46,165 --> 00:11:47,833
and the VR has made me feel
227
00:11:47,916 --> 00:11:50,794
a little more intimidated
about the crane walk than I was before.
228
00:11:51,336 --> 00:11:54,882
But if Modupe's training can help me
control my stress response
229
00:11:54,965 --> 00:11:58,886
and lower my risk of disease,
then, hey, I'm up for it.
230
00:12:04,725 --> 00:12:08,562
MODUPE: I want to show Chris
that he can reduce the risk to his health
231
00:12:09,021 --> 00:12:14,276
if he dials down his reaction to stress
by taking control of his mind and body.
232
00:12:14,818 --> 00:12:19,698
So, that even when he's walking
across the crane, he can do it calmly.
233
00:12:24,411 --> 00:12:27,831
To prepare him for this challenge,
over the next two days,
234
00:12:28,165 --> 00:12:33,045
my plan is for Chris to work with people
who deal with extreme stress
235
00:12:33,212 --> 00:12:35,047
on a regular basis.
236
00:12:37,466 --> 00:12:38,509
Right.
237
00:12:38,884 --> 00:12:42,137
I’m going to actually introduce you
to two Special Forces officers.
238
00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:44,056
-Harry and Justin.
-G'day, Chris, how are ya?
239
00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:45,557
-Good, thanks.
-G'day, Chris.
240
00:12:46,517 --> 00:12:50,020
Hey, Chris, welcome to
Special Forces Resilience Training, mate.
241
00:12:50,103 --> 00:12:51,688
-Thank you.
-MODPUE: So, your gonna engage
242
00:12:51,855 --> 00:12:53,982
in a drown-proofing exercise
243
00:12:54,066 --> 00:12:56,527
which is some of what
the Special Forces do.
244
00:12:56,860 --> 00:12:59,321
It's designed to overload you with stress,
245
00:12:59,947 --> 00:13:01,240
but I'm going to show you some tips
246
00:13:01,323 --> 00:13:02,908
-and tools to help you get through it.
-Yeah.
247
00:13:02,991 --> 00:13:05,536
This activity is designed
to build mental toughness
248
00:13:05,619 --> 00:13:07,746
in our men and women in Special Forces.
249
00:13:08,038 --> 00:13:11,834
Throughout the activity, your feet
and hands will be bound at all times.
250
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,299
I think I find myself
being stressed in situations
251
00:13:19,383 --> 00:13:21,051
that I haven’t been able to prepare for.
252
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,346
There’s all sorts of stupid stuff
going through my head at this point.
253
00:13:25,097 --> 00:13:27,850
Now, I start to think,
what if I actually drown?
254
00:13:29,643 --> 00:13:32,729
If while you are underwater you have any
sensations of blackout,
255
00:13:33,105 --> 00:13:36,400
then just return to the surface
and we’ll rescue you from there.
256
00:13:36,942 --> 00:13:39,319
If you contravene
any of the instructions we give you,
257
00:13:39,403 --> 00:13:42,072
if you pass out or drown, it’s a fail.
258
00:13:43,282 --> 00:13:44,491
-Okay, you ready?
-CHRIS: Yeah.
259
00:13:44,616 --> 00:13:46,577
HARRY: On with the first task,
bobbing. Go!
260
00:14:05,721 --> 00:14:08,891
CHRIS: The aim is to kick off
the bottom 20 times,
261
00:14:09,391 --> 00:14:12,811
giving me just a split second
to take in enough air.
262
00:14:14,855 --> 00:14:17,649
Into a rhythm! Breathing! Rhythm!
263
00:14:22,946 --> 00:14:24,948
Of course, I know I’ve got enough oxygen,
264
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:28,327
and I know these guys
aren’t gonna let me drown.
265
00:14:29,328 --> 00:14:31,163
But I can feel my heartbeat racing.
266
00:14:32,706 --> 00:14:33,790
The stress rising.
267
00:14:35,751 --> 00:14:37,586
Underwater summersaults,
when you're ready.
268
00:14:43,133 --> 00:14:45,093
I can feel my lungs starting to burn.
269
00:14:50,474 --> 00:14:52,643
Okay, that's a fail. Swim two laps.
270
00:14:58,774 --> 00:14:59,858
It's brutal,
271
00:15:01,109 --> 00:15:03,111
and it's getting harder
and harder.
272
00:15:05,822 --> 00:15:07,115
That's two fails.
273
00:15:08,659 --> 00:15:09,660
How’s he doing?
274
00:15:09,743 --> 00:15:10,869
-He's a sinker.
-Yeah.
275
00:15:13,163 --> 00:15:14,456
Okay, go into floating!
276
00:15:21,004 --> 00:15:24,216
I can’t even get my head up
enough to catch a breath.
277
00:15:28,887 --> 00:15:30,180
That’s when the panic begins.
278
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:33,558
(MUFFLED GRUNTING)
279
00:15:53,203 --> 00:15:57,290
So, Chris wasn't exactly
a successful outing, apart from the...
280
00:15:57,582 --> 00:16:00,002
Well, nothing, you failed everything.
281
00:16:01,128 --> 00:16:02,254
How you doing?
282
00:16:02,713 --> 00:16:06,466
It was hard work
and there was just so much technique
283
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:09,594
I think and... and also just...
284
00:16:09,928 --> 00:16:12,222
(PANTING)
285
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:13,598
...just not getting into a situation
286
00:16:13,682 --> 00:16:14,933
-where you panic, you know?
-Right.
287
00:16:15,017 --> 00:16:18,103
MODUPE: Not many of us will be subjected
to drown proofing,
288
00:16:18,186 --> 00:16:20,856
but we all find ourselves
out of our depth.
289
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,484
We experience situations
where we are not prepared
290
00:16:24,568 --> 00:16:27,654
and we tell ourselves,
"I’m a loser, I can't do this."
291
00:16:28,196 --> 00:16:31,158
One thing is to use positive self-talk.
292
00:16:31,408 --> 00:16:36,663
This is about reframing how you think
when you think negatively.
293
00:16:36,747 --> 00:16:37,748
Right.
294
00:16:37,831 --> 00:16:40,959
Can I actually do this to a more
positive way of thinking of something?
295
00:16:41,460 --> 00:16:45,881
How can I do this differently? So,
what will I gain out of this experience?
296
00:16:47,382 --> 00:16:52,512
Positive self-talk will help Chris realize
that our fight or flight system
297
00:16:52,721 --> 00:16:55,265
doesn't just respond to the outside world.
298
00:16:55,766 --> 00:17:00,103
Our own thoughts and emotions
can also influence that circuit.
299
00:17:01,271 --> 00:17:05,776
CHRIS: If I'm under pressure
and I believe I can't cope...
300
00:17:07,736 --> 00:17:09,404
my brain hits the panic button...
301
00:17:11,073 --> 00:17:13,658
telling my fight or flight circuit
to shift gear
302
00:17:14,242 --> 00:17:16,036
and prepare for the very worst.
303
00:17:17,454 --> 00:17:20,457
Anticipating injury, arteries
and veins tighten,
304
00:17:20,999 --> 00:17:23,085
sending blood in toward my core.
305
00:17:23,168 --> 00:17:25,587
So, there's less chance
I'll bleed to death.
306
00:17:27,089 --> 00:17:31,343
The problem is, with less blood
now reaching my muscles and brain,
307
00:17:31,426 --> 00:17:34,471
my mental and physical strength
starts to flag.
308
00:17:35,472 --> 00:17:38,100
But, just by thinking more positively,
309
00:17:38,558 --> 00:17:40,977
I can flip this physical response.
310
00:17:42,521 --> 00:17:47,359
Opening my blood vessels back up,
so I can find the energy to power through.
311
00:17:49,611 --> 00:17:54,157
I'm still wired, but my stress is
no longer working against me.
312
00:17:56,076 --> 00:18:00,038
Chris, we’re gonna go back into the pool,
reassess you on floating again.
313
00:18:01,498 --> 00:18:02,791
Off you go.
314
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:09,381
(GASPS)
315
00:18:10,507 --> 00:18:11,800
He's going to hate this!
316
00:18:12,384 --> 00:18:15,804
CHRIS: Back in the water,
I can feel the same pressure taking hold.
317
00:18:19,307 --> 00:18:21,351
And then I do what Modupe told me.
318
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:25,272
I shut out all the negative thoughts,
and I just keep telling myself,
319
00:18:25,355 --> 00:18:30,026
"I can do this, I have enough oxygen.
I’m not gonna drown, I'm not gonna drown."
320
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:32,904
Come on, come on, come on.
321
00:18:42,122 --> 00:18:44,166
And now, I feel a sense of calm.
322
00:18:46,918 --> 00:18:50,422
I focus on my rhythm and I know,
I can get the job done.
323
00:18:51,506 --> 00:18:52,799
-This is better.
-Yeah.
324
00:18:52,924 --> 00:18:54,176
You can get into a really nice rhythm
325
00:18:54,259 --> 00:18:55,552
-with the bob.
-MODUPE: Yeah, a good rhythm.
326
00:18:55,635 --> 00:18:57,095
HARRY: And I think the key here is,
he’s relaxing,
327
00:18:57,179 --> 00:18:58,346
-he's thinking through it...
-Yeah.
328
00:18:58,471 --> 00:19:00,432
...he's applying some of the tools
you’ve given him.
329
00:19:00,515 --> 00:19:01,558
Yeah. Yep.
330
00:19:01,641 --> 00:19:04,728
So, the last activity we’ll go on with
is the mask retrieval.
331
00:19:08,857 --> 00:19:11,526
Come on, big dog. Find it.
332
00:19:14,321 --> 00:19:18,575
I'm feeling more positive, confident,
stronger in the water.
333
00:19:19,743 --> 00:19:22,204
It's like my stress is
no longer holding me back.
334
00:19:33,215 --> 00:19:34,841
Yep. Come on.
335
00:19:41,348 --> 00:19:43,600
-MODUPE: Yes!
-HARRY: Now, bring it over here.
336
00:19:45,101 --> 00:19:46,728
Okay, turn with your back to the wall.
337
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:49,231
-Yeah, okay.
-Yep, like that. Ready? One, two, three.
338
00:19:50,065 --> 00:19:51,274
MODUPE: All right.
339
00:19:52,275 --> 00:19:54,069
Okay, so how did that feel?
340
00:19:54,986 --> 00:19:57,697
That was... that was a bit more intense.
341
00:19:57,781 --> 00:20:00,909
Yeah. You did much better
the second time in the float.
342
00:20:01,076 --> 00:20:03,245
-That’s the positive self-talk.
-Yeah. Yeah.
343
00:20:03,328 --> 00:20:06,206
So, going forward,
learning how to incorporate
344
00:20:06,289 --> 00:20:09,709
some of these psychological tools
to your everyday life.
345
00:20:10,168 --> 00:20:13,213
Even if it’s a script or, you know,
filming something.
346
00:20:13,296 --> 00:20:15,799
What are some of the negative things
that come in your head?
347
00:20:16,299 --> 00:20:17,926
Like if I feel like
I haven’t prepped enough
348
00:20:18,009 --> 00:20:20,845
or I feel like, I don’t quite know
the script as well.
349
00:20:20,929 --> 00:20:22,389
Do you ever catastrophize though?
350
00:20:22,639 --> 00:20:24,516
-It used to be crazy.
-Right, right.
351
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:27,811
It used to, like, be debilitating.
And, yeah, I couldn't speak
352
00:20:27,894 --> 00:20:31,398
and I would think, "If I screw this up,
I won't sell the movie properly,
353
00:20:31,523 --> 00:20:32,774
-"the movie will tank."
-Right. Right.
354
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:34,901
-All of that, you know?
-You know you want it to go perfectly
355
00:20:34,985 --> 00:20:36,069
but it's not going to.
356
00:20:36,152 --> 00:20:39,197
Nothing’s going to go perfectly,
so you convert that to positive self-talk
357
00:20:39,281 --> 00:20:42,784
by saying, "I do this all the time,
I can start again."
358
00:20:42,951 --> 00:20:43,994
Yeah, right.
359
00:20:54,296 --> 00:20:57,590
CHRIS: Today, I worked with the soldiers
in the pool.
360
00:20:57,716 --> 00:21:02,053
A lot of pool work and it was incredibly
exhausting and taxing,
361
00:21:02,345 --> 00:21:04,014
particularly on the lungs.
362
00:21:06,558 --> 00:21:11,980
Yeah, it’s really interesting, kind of
exposing myself to stressful situations
363
00:21:12,063 --> 00:21:15,608
and becoming comfortable
in uncomfortable environments,
364
00:21:15,692 --> 00:21:16,860
and that’s what this is all about,
365
00:21:16,985 --> 00:21:20,405
and hopefully adapting that
into my regular life.
366
00:21:20,572 --> 00:21:21,990
So, I think it’s about perspective,
367
00:21:22,073 --> 00:21:25,118
this is what I’m absorbing
through this experience.
368
00:21:25,827 --> 00:21:31,041
Too often, our fight or flight
is in constant fluctuation
369
00:21:31,499 --> 00:21:35,670
due to things that just
aren't important, you know.
370
00:21:39,924 --> 00:21:42,469
My eyes are really sore
from all the chlorine.
371
00:21:45,013 --> 00:21:48,266
But, that’s the least
of my problems, isn’t it?
372
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:53,813
I’m about to walk off
the edge of a building. (EXCLAIMS)
373
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,321
MODUPE: The crane challenge
is extremely intimidating for Chris.
374
00:22:02,155 --> 00:22:05,408
But I want him to realize,
these techniques aren't just
375
00:22:05,492 --> 00:22:08,578
going to help reduce the risk of stress
damaging his health.
376
00:22:09,996 --> 00:22:15,335
They can also help us perform at our best
when we're under intense pressure.
377
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,304
CHRIS: After an accident, in 2013,
378
00:22:26,763 --> 00:22:30,433
Faith Dickey completely changed the way
she thinks about stress.
379
00:22:32,435 --> 00:22:35,647
FAITH: I was driving home to visit family
for the holidays
380
00:22:35,730 --> 00:22:38,316
and my car hit a patch of black ice
381
00:22:39,484 --> 00:22:40,985
and I guess in that moment I realized,
382
00:22:41,111 --> 00:22:47,033
I was completely at peace
with my potential death.
383
00:22:58,128 --> 00:23:03,800
After that accident, I just realized,
making stress your friend,
384
00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:06,136
you learn ways to channel it.
385
00:23:06,803 --> 00:23:10,598
(PANTING)
386
00:23:13,935 --> 00:23:16,563
FAITH: I believe if you avoid all risk...
387
00:23:19,065 --> 00:23:21,276
you never learn what you're capable of.
388
00:23:27,365 --> 00:23:28,575
Loosen up.
389
00:23:32,245 --> 00:23:35,373
-How does the tension look to you?
-MALE VOICE: I think it looks good.
390
00:23:36,207 --> 00:23:38,460
CHRIS: Since her crash,
Faith has gone on to break
391
00:23:38,543 --> 00:23:40,712
multiple world records in highlining.
392
00:23:41,171 --> 00:23:45,216
A discipline that requires
absolute control over the mind and body.
393
00:23:47,010 --> 00:23:51,556
It's easy for my mind to start filling
with fears or stresses.
394
00:23:52,223 --> 00:23:54,642
Because it’s a natural response
to get scared
395
00:23:54,726 --> 00:23:59,189
when you're super high off the ground
on a wobbly line stretched over a void.
396
00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:08,406
I have an arsenal of tools
to get myself across high lines.
397
00:24:09,616 --> 00:24:10,658
Breathe.
398
00:24:11,576 --> 00:24:15,872
FAITH: And sometimes all I need
is that small bit of positive thinking
399
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:17,332
that I can take one step.
400
00:24:17,415 --> 00:24:18,625
You've got this.
401
00:24:20,418 --> 00:24:23,922
That might look like yelling
at myself. "Come on.
402
00:24:25,673 --> 00:24:28,009
"Come on. Come on."
403
00:24:34,390 --> 00:24:36,809
"Relax, you've got this."
404
00:24:44,734 --> 00:24:49,239
And it’s so funny how self-talk
can be so rewarding.
405
00:24:57,705 --> 00:25:02,252
If I’m on the middle of a highline
and a huge gust of wind comes...
406
00:25:07,549 --> 00:25:09,592
Whoa! Come on.
407
00:25:09,676 --> 00:25:14,722
FAITH: I just pull from my toolbelt
another technique I know to deal with it.
408
00:25:16,641 --> 00:25:18,726
Some people call it segmentation.
409
00:25:20,061 --> 00:25:22,689
I try not to think
about the whole challenge.
410
00:25:23,982 --> 00:25:26,734
Instead, I break it down
into little chunks.
411
00:25:30,113 --> 00:25:33,741
I’m able to just focus
on one step at a time.
412
00:25:34,701 --> 00:25:36,119
Breathe.
413
00:25:36,703 --> 00:25:38,621
One foot in front of the other.
414
00:25:41,791 --> 00:25:44,752
And that one step can propel me
all the way across.
415
00:25:51,509 --> 00:25:53,386
I walk through fear.
416
00:25:57,307 --> 00:25:59,434
I don’t try to make it go away.
417
00:26:00,143 --> 00:26:03,730
And that has been really powerful
in other realms of my life
418
00:26:04,230 --> 00:26:09,277
where I go in for a job interview,
an everyday stressful situation,
419
00:26:10,194 --> 00:26:13,323
I can really transfer
what I’ve learned on the highline...
420
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,412
And so, things that used to
stress me out a lot
421
00:26:20,371 --> 00:26:22,290
no longer affect me in the same way.
422
00:26:26,753 --> 00:26:27,795
CHRIS: When I think about it,
423
00:26:28,129 --> 00:26:30,715
I know I don't have too much
that should stress me out.
424
00:26:31,090 --> 00:26:34,594
My family are healthy and happy,
I've got a career I'm proud of.
425
00:26:34,927 --> 00:26:38,264
But I can still feel that stress
eating away at me.
426
00:26:39,557 --> 00:26:43,561
So, for the sake of my long-term health,
I really want to try to get on top of it.
427
00:26:50,109 --> 00:26:54,947
What is something that gives me
huge anxiety and... and evokes stress
428
00:26:55,031 --> 00:26:57,408
is when I'm trying to take care
of too many things.
429
00:26:57,492 --> 00:26:58,576
-Yes.
-You know, when I've got...
430
00:26:58,660 --> 00:27:00,328
-Yes.
-I've got too many projects I'm working on
431
00:27:00,411 --> 00:27:02,622
and too many emails
and phone calls to respond to.
432
00:27:02,705 --> 00:27:04,415
It's, like... just becomes
a little overwhelming.
433
00:27:04,916 --> 00:27:07,794
I think the key step in that is diagnosing
434
00:27:07,877 --> 00:27:10,213
why do I feel like I need to say yes
to all these things?
435
00:27:10,296 --> 00:27:13,132
Yeah. I mean, when I first started acting,
436
00:27:13,257 --> 00:27:16,052
you know, my parents had
very little money growing up
437
00:27:16,135 --> 00:27:17,345
-and...
-Yeah. Yeah.
438
00:27:17,512 --> 00:27:18,763
And talking about to my dad one day
439
00:27:18,888 --> 00:27:20,723
about when he's going to be able
to pay the bank off.
440
00:27:20,807 --> 00:27:22,100
-And him just saying, you know...
-Yeah.
441
00:27:22,183 --> 00:27:23,267
-"Never, we'll...
-Yeah.
442
00:27:23,351 --> 00:27:24,560
"we'll die having to pay it off."
443
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:27,647
And that kind of really bothering me
from a very young age.
444
00:27:28,106 --> 00:27:29,148
You know.
445
00:27:29,774 --> 00:27:31,526
Taking it upon myself just to say,
446
00:27:31,609 --> 00:27:34,028
I don't want that that for them,
I don’t want it for me and my family.
447
00:27:34,112 --> 00:27:35,238
-Yeah.
-And,
448
00:27:35,363 --> 00:27:39,283
if I'm totally honest. I did acting
to get my parents out of debt,
449
00:27:39,492 --> 00:27:43,246
but I still have that thing of,
like, it's all gonna go away.
450
00:27:43,329 --> 00:27:44,664
-So, it's all going to run away...
-Yeah.
451
00:27:44,747 --> 00:27:46,207
...if I don't say yes to these things,
452
00:27:46,332 --> 00:27:49,377
but then there is just this momentum
that occurs and things...
453
00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:50,628
-Yeah.
-...just kind of pile
454
00:27:50,712 --> 00:27:52,171
-on top of each other, and...
-Yeah.
455
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:54,549

in his life become too much.

to help with those intense feelings.
459
00:28:06,227 --> 00:28:09,105
So, I’m going to put him to the test
in a training exercise

CHRIS: Since Zoc did so well
during the VR test,
472
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,701
I thought he could also use
some of Modupe’s tips.
473
00:29:05,244 --> 00:29:08,998
So, yesterday, we did the self-talk
but there are times
474
00:29:09,081 --> 00:29:11,667
when you’re just
in the middle of the action
475
00:29:11,751 --> 00:29:16,047
and we feel that rush of adrenaline,
when you feel that heart rate increasing.
476
00:29:16,130 --> 00:29:18,674
One of the key things is to just breathe.
477
00:29:19,425 --> 00:29:23,346
This is what first responders do
and it’s called box breathing.
478
00:29:23,513 --> 00:29:28,267
-Breathe, hold, exhale, hold.
-Okay.
479
00:29:28,601 --> 00:29:30,520
So, imagine four sides of a box.
480
00:29:31,729 --> 00:29:34,357
What you’re going to do is
481
00:29:35,066 --> 00:29:38,528
inhale for four seconds,
hold it for four seconds,
482
00:29:38,736 --> 00:29:42,073
exhale for four seconds,
hold it for four seconds.
483
00:29:42,323 --> 00:29:48,955
So, that is the process. Four seconds
for each. Breathe, hold, exhale, hold.
484
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:54,627
Breathe, one, two, three, four.
Pause, one, two, three, four.

00:29:54,961 --> 00:29:58,714
This is an extreme situation here,
but you can imagine how,
486
00:29:58,798 --> 00:30:02,635
in any circumstance in your life
when you feel that heart rate increasing,
487
00:30:03,052 --> 00:30:05,221
-you can use this technique.
-Breathe.

will detect the change in movement
498

00:40:58,290 --> 00:41:00,209
I feel this weird sort of,
like, vertigo feeling.
658
00:41:03,003 --> 00:41:08,091
I had this image of the crane falling,
smashing through a window
659
00:41:09,218 --> 00:41:11,261
and me hanging in the room below.
660
00:41:11,678 --> 00:41:14,473
And the crane about to tumble
and having to get my harness off.
661
00:41:14,848 --> 00:41:17,643
That scenario is kinda,
would be interesting, wouldn’t it?
662
00:41:19,478 --> 00:41:22,231
MODUPE: I'm worried Chris' head
isn't in the right place.
663
00:41:22,773 --> 00:41:24,900
He's got to acknowledge
those negative thoughts
664
00:41:24,983 --> 00:41:26,276
and move past them.
665
00:41:31,323 --> 00:41:35,244
Because the real challenge today
isn't just walking across the crane...
666
00:41:36,620 --> 00:41:38,747
it's doing the walk calmly,
667
00:41:39,373 --> 00:41:41,917
using the techniques he’s learned
to keep his heart rate
668
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,253
and breathing under control.
669
00:41:45,462 --> 00:41:47,172
How are you feeling? Are you nervous?
670
00:41:48,465 --> 00:41:50,884
You keep asking me that
so I’m starting to feel it a bit, yeah.
671
00:41:55,013 --> 00:41:57,641
CHRIS: The moment's arrived
and I'm heading up to the rooftop.
672
00:42:01,019 --> 00:42:02,479
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
673
00:42:02,980 --> 00:42:06,233
And I can feel my heart rate increasing.
674
00:42:10,153 --> 00:42:13,198
And I just keep reminding myself
why I'm doing this.
675
00:42:13,991 --> 00:42:15,867
I don’t want stress to rule my life.
676
00:42:17,035 --> 00:42:18,829
Or take a toll on my health.
677
00:42:22,124 --> 00:42:23,792
(VOCALIZES)
678
00:42:35,053 --> 00:42:37,222
-See you guys. It was fun. It was fun.
-Good luck out there, mate.
679
00:42:37,306 --> 00:42:39,182
-It was a fun thirty years.
-You're gonna be fine.
680
00:42:39,266 --> 00:42:40,559
-Giving love to you, mate.
-I love you.
681
00:42:41,143 --> 00:42:42,769
MODUPE: And I’ll talk to you
from up there too,
682
00:42:42,894 --> 00:42:43,895
-every now and then.
-Yeah.
683
00:42:43,979 --> 00:42:45,063
So... But you’ve got this.
684
00:42:46,857 --> 00:42:47,858
See you on the other side.
685
00:42:50,652 --> 00:42:51,987
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
686
00:42:55,824 --> 00:42:56,908
It's windy up here.
687
00:43:03,707 --> 00:43:04,791
My legs are shaking.
688
00:43:04,875 --> 00:43:06,209
-Yeah, you're nervous, huh?
-I'm nervous.
689
00:43:09,421 --> 00:43:13,884
Step in there and just look out across.
Now, you can reach these, can't you?
690
00:43:21,141 --> 00:43:22,392
(GRUNTS)
691
00:43:26,063 --> 00:43:27,856
Yeah. So, my feet feel incredibly heavy.
692
00:43:29,024 --> 00:43:31,068
-You’re looking good up there.
-He's got the arms out.
693
00:43:31,151 --> 00:43:32,694
-He's ready to do it.
-Don’t forget to breathe!
694
00:43:32,903 --> 00:43:34,821
-(CHUCKLES)
-What are you thinking?
695
00:43:35,405 --> 00:43:39,201
Nothing. Just trying to enjoy the view
and be comfortable
696
00:43:39,326 --> 00:43:40,869
in a very uncomfortable situation.
697
00:43:43,205 --> 00:43:46,333
Chris’s metrics are already
well above his baseline.
698
00:43:46,958 --> 00:43:50,170
I’m hoping he can keep his heart rate
under a hundred beats per minute.
699
00:43:51,088 --> 00:43:55,717
But right now it’s at 118
and that number is rising quickly.
700
00:43:56,718 --> 00:43:59,971
I’m well aware that my brain’s saying,
"What are we doing?"
701
00:44:00,597 --> 00:44:01,682
It’s...
702
00:44:03,767 --> 00:44:06,061
it's about... I think
about thinking less, you know?
703
00:44:06,144 --> 00:44:09,898
At the moment, I try to sort of think
of all the things that could go wrong.
704
00:44:09,981 --> 00:44:11,191
At the moment I, you know...
705
00:44:11,274 --> 00:44:13,777
I just haven’t let that come
into my head for a few days now.
706
00:44:14,861 --> 00:44:18,907
But it's... Even now, my brain is going,
"Woah, what are we doing up here?"
707
00:44:18,990 --> 00:44:20,033
You know?
708
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:23,328
So, I'm standing up there,
I’m looking down.
709
00:44:23,787 --> 00:44:25,455
It's a long, long way. The wind’s blowing.
710
00:44:25,580 --> 00:44:27,874
I think, I’ve got my friends
here for support.
711
00:44:29,209 --> 00:44:30,961
I’m doing my box breathing.
712
00:44:31,712 --> 00:44:34,923
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
713
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:39,845
One step, just one step,
one step, one step.
714
00:44:40,178 --> 00:44:42,889
One step, one foot,
one moment, one breath.
715
00:44:43,598 --> 00:44:45,142
CHRIS: And I take one more big breath.
716
00:44:51,773 --> 00:44:52,774
And I start walking.
717
00:45:02,033 --> 00:45:03,785
I feel like I can’t walk properly.
718
00:45:06,121 --> 00:45:07,789
MODUPE: (OVER RADIO)
You're breathing really well.
719
00:45:08,206 --> 00:45:10,625
This is so much better than yesterday.
720
00:45:12,419 --> 00:45:13,879
My legs have gone all funky.
721
00:45:15,630 --> 00:45:20,469
-(CHUCKLES) Feel super unsteady now.
-ZOC: (OVER RADIO) Mind the step, dude.
722
00:45:20,844 --> 00:45:22,721
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
723
00:45:24,181 --> 00:45:25,640
-Oh, God.
-Yeah.
724
00:45:30,103 --> 00:45:33,565
I keep trying to tell myself, “It’s okay,
we got this. It’s what we’ve trained for.
725
00:45:34,441 --> 00:45:37,736
"Keep breathing. Stay calm."
726
00:45:42,657 --> 00:45:49,247
It’s very windy up here now. And it's...
it starts to feel very... Woah!
727
00:45:49,664 --> 00:45:50,707
AARON: Oh. Wow!
728
00:45:53,794 --> 00:45:56,213
MODUPE: His heart rate
is going down a little bit.
729
00:46:00,258 --> 00:46:01,259
(OVER RADIO) Nice job.
730
00:46:02,761 --> 00:46:06,431
I’ve done it. This is beautiful.
Look where I am, look at the view.
731
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,100
Soak it in. This is what
I’ve been training for.
732
00:46:11,645 --> 00:46:13,772
Then I realize I’ve gotta go
all the way back!
733
00:46:14,481 --> 00:46:16,358
I want to look down
but I don’t want to look down.
734
00:46:16,566 --> 00:46:18,193
But I just wanna kinda get it done.
735
00:46:20,612 --> 00:46:21,947
Why did I do that? No.
736
00:46:22,739 --> 00:46:25,408
And I look down and...
(IMITATES SLOW MOTION)
737
00:46:25,659 --> 00:46:27,744
...everything starts to kinda...
738
00:46:28,245 --> 00:46:33,500
(CHUCKLES) I feel I have vertigo
and huge rush of adrenaline.
739
00:46:34,334 --> 00:46:38,088
Brief moments of,
"Uh-oh, I can't do this."
740
00:46:38,839 --> 00:46:41,842
And I can feel my heart rate increasing.
741
00:46:42,259 --> 00:46:43,218
You good?
742
00:46:43,802 --> 00:46:45,387
I’m just trying to lower
my heart rate a bit.
743
00:46:47,097 --> 00:46:50,308
-ZOC: How are the stats looking?
-His heart rate, he's at 145.
744
00:46:50,433 --> 00:46:52,769
-This is double his rate at rest.
-AARON: Yeah.
745
00:46:53,270 --> 00:46:54,980
CHRIS: Yeah, looking down is gross.
746
00:46:55,230 --> 00:46:57,274
Chris, jump on the chopper mate.
You’re gonna make it!
747
00:46:58,316 --> 00:47:01,486
CHRIS: I really wanna focus now
on the breathing techniques
748
00:47:01,611 --> 00:47:05,824
and all the strategies she’s taught me
to see if I can lower my heart rate,
749
00:47:05,949 --> 00:47:08,618
and so I just stand there
for a moment and look out.
750
00:47:08,994 --> 00:47:14,291
I pull myself back into the focus state
and be present in the moment.
751
00:47:24,509 --> 00:47:26,177
Mindful and present.
752
00:47:32,934 --> 00:47:35,103
CHRIS: And I block out
any thoughts of doubt.
753
00:47:35,228 --> 00:47:39,816
I just keep telling myself
there’s no possibility of me not doing it.
754
00:47:42,986 --> 00:47:46,072
-And I take my first step.
-ZOC: There he goes.
755
00:47:54,289 --> 00:47:55,665
How’s my heart rate? Has it lowered?
756
00:47:55,874 --> 00:47:57,500
MODUPE: (OVER RADIO)
Yeah, it’s down to 103.
757
00:47:57,584 --> 00:48:00,045
It had gone up to 145, so...
758
00:48:00,128 --> 00:48:01,588
-CHRIS: Yeah.
-ZOC: He's got this.
759
00:48:05,133 --> 00:48:08,345
CHRIS: With every step,
l seem to grow more confident.
760
00:48:12,557 --> 00:48:17,520
I know the techniques are working
so I let myself just enjoy the experience.
761
00:48:26,404 --> 00:48:27,864
I feel like I’m in control.
762
00:48:31,826 --> 00:48:36,247
MODUPE: (OVER RADIO)
And your heart rate is down to 90, 88, 87!
763
00:48:36,373 --> 00:48:40,460
It keeps on going down, so...
Look at you using those tools!
764
00:48:44,464 --> 00:48:46,633
-He's giving us a bit of karate!
-Now we are getting cocky here.
765
00:48:46,716 --> 00:48:48,009
Confident, isn't he?
766
00:48:50,011 --> 00:48:52,472
-MODUPE: (CHUCKLES) Karate kid up in here!
-Yes.
767
00:48:55,976 --> 00:48:59,813
-That's extremely intense. Wow.
-Good job, Chris. Good job.
768
00:49:00,146 --> 00:49:02,857
-Well done, mate, I’m proud of you.
-MODUPE: Love it. That's great.
769
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:05,652
Was that harder than the VR?
770
00:49:08,488 --> 00:49:10,073
-Insanely harder.
-It is?
771
00:49:10,156 --> 00:49:11,199
-It's gnarly.
-Yeah.
772
00:49:11,324 --> 00:49:13,660
Like, it's right there,
it's right at the door,
773
00:49:13,743 --> 00:49:14,828
-like, the fear.
-ZOC: Yeah.
774
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,454
So, what level of stress was that for you?
775
00:49:16,538 --> 00:49:21,209
If you had put me in that situation
with no prior conversation or training
776
00:49:21,334 --> 00:49:23,837
or what have you...
I think I would have just gone,
777
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,338
"No. No way." You know.
778
00:49:28,341 --> 00:49:32,637
So, this experience is not just about
these acutely stressful moments like this,
779
00:49:32,721 --> 00:49:35,181
but it's about the long term,
the longevity,
780
00:49:35,265 --> 00:49:37,183
I mean, that’s a piece of
why you wanted to do this.
781
00:49:37,308 --> 00:49:41,479
Every step where you focus,
every moment that you breathe,
782
00:49:41,646 --> 00:49:43,648
that is allowing you to live longer
783
00:49:43,732 --> 00:49:47,277
because you’re not having
that chronic stress response.
784
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,112
-Yeah.
-And you’re allowing yourself
785
00:49:49,195 --> 00:49:52,824
to go back to baseline naturally
and when you do that,
786
00:49:52,907 --> 00:49:55,952
that means you're at less risk
of cardiovascular disease,
787
00:49:56,036 --> 00:49:59,539
you're at less risk of not recovering
when you’re sick.
788
00:49:59,956 --> 00:50:02,751
So, it’s not just this moment,
it’s about the long term.
789
00:50:03,209 --> 00:50:05,837
Hopefully, next time the kids
are having a tantrum in a restaurant
790
00:50:06,004 --> 00:50:06,921
and people are filming it,
791
00:50:07,380 --> 00:50:09,507
I’m trying to smile through it,
be relaxed, huh?
792
00:50:09,591 --> 00:50:11,760
-Yeah.
-It'll be real. It won't be a performance.
793
00:50:16,431 --> 00:50:20,101
I think what I’ve taken away
from this experience is that...
794
00:50:21,770 --> 00:50:26,816
the story you tell yourself
becomes your reality.
795
00:50:28,109 --> 00:50:30,111
If I told myself prior
to walking out on the crane
796
00:50:30,195 --> 00:50:32,781
that I wasn’t going to be able to do it
or what if I fall or whatever,
797
00:50:32,864 --> 00:50:35,617
then I probably would have failed,
I probably wouldn’t have done it.
798
00:50:37,327 --> 00:50:39,287
It really is mind over matter.
799
00:50:40,413 --> 00:50:43,041
So, you don't have to be ruled
by those fearful emotions.
800
00:50:51,508 --> 00:50:52,759
Do we have a harness for Zoc?
801
00:50:53,885 --> 00:50:54,886
Have to get a small one.
802
00:50:56,304 --> 00:50:57,305
Turn that camera off.
803
00:50:57,722 --> 00:50:59,682
-Yeah.
-MALE VOICE: Cut it.
