Simplified Meaning:
When we have words to describe what we’re feeling or experiencing, it makes things less scary. Think about when you were a child and saw a shadow in your room. Once you knew it was just a tree branch moving, it wasn’t as frightening anymore. Words and names help us understand and feel more in control. They allow us to express our thoughts and fears clearly. This can make difficult situations less overwhelming. Using language can also help us reflect on our experiences, like when keeping a journal, which can be a calming and thoughtful practice.
