Sometimes the words meant to comfort…
land as pressure.
A client once told me,
“When my therapist said ‘Calm Down’…’Breathe’.
it felt like she didn’t understand.
Breathing wasn’t calming.
It felt like being trapped inside the fear.”
And it reminded me:
Healing language must feel safe in the body,
not just sound kind in the room.
Because many people learned early that:
their feelings were minimized,
their pace ignored,
their trust broken.
So even gentle phrases can sometimes echo old wounds.
Not because they are wrong ~
but because the nervous system remembers.
At Pink Light Sanctuary™
we slow down instead.
We listen to what the body is saying.
We offer steadiness,
not instruction.
Choice,
not pressure.
Safety,
before solutions.
So before I guide,
I pause and ask:
How might these words land
for someone who learned not to feel safe?
And often,
that pause itself becomes the beginning of healing.
Witness for language shifts that help people feel met,
not managed.
