Just breathe thats it, just breathe?

on tv shows when someone is injured and another person renders aid they usually say "just breathe"
which seems silly to me because im no doctor but im pretty sure breathing is involuntary.
you can neither stop or start through choice,
there are quite few inane things often said on tv shows

It’s a way to keep the patient calm and reduce the chances of panicking. If you match their energy of fear and stress while attending to them even if they’ve lost their legs and need to get to a hospital, their job is to keep the patient calm enough to let them do their job. Not everyone can control themselves and sometimes injured people need to be restrained.

I'll say that personally if I'm stressed and someone reminds me to breath, it helps me to breathe more deeply because I often have more shallow breaths when I'm stressed; making the stress worse.

just breathe sonorous and maybe you won't die of blood loss from the shotgun blast to your stomach, mate. Breathe

I imagine that is someone focuses on breathing more deeply, it will make the breathe more slowly, slowing the heart rate down & blood flow.

That's just to distract from the pain
