Silence in the face of pain is not heroism. Real courage is in speaking up and reaching out for help. When you embark on this journey you are not only breaking barriers that were built by your ancestors, you are creating healing for yourself and the generations to come.

I encourage you to consider,

Telling someone to calm down when they're overwhelmed is not helpful. It's invalidating to the person's experience and teaches them that they can't express difficult emotions around us.

When was the last time you calmed down after someone told you to calm down?

Even the smallest hint that something is off will activate our attachment system.
