Catching It Mid-Sentence
Self-criticism often begins as a physical click before it becomes a full verdict. A kettle switching off at the boil becomes the image for noticing that first surge of heat, tightening, or drop in the chest, and recognising it as a threshold being crossed rather than proof of anything true.

Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
