First of all, the auxiliary would be "do" because it's in the plural. Second, your question should be without the auxiliary "do," because the question is in a subordinate clause, after "can you please tell me..." I think you've understood correctly -- in this context the incredibly informal expression "shrink it up" probably means to behave as a psychologist would..
