The tension between 'holding space' and the urge to immediately offer solutions is a common topic for creators. Sometimes, the most supportive response is simply witnessing someone's experience without needing to resolve it right away. If you're feeling overwhelmed by that pressure to be 'fixed,' try grounding yourself in one small, non-judgmental observation of your current state—like noticing the light on a wall or the sound of a clock ticking. That pause creates room for genuine connection.
