Apologising for Taking Up Space
The reflexive sorry can slip out before a need, a question, or even a breath has had room to arrive. Attention follows the body’s small inward fold without blame, tracing how old safety strategies can teach a person to shrink. What remains is a quieter permission: needs can stand without apology.
Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
