apricotaudios - [A] Anxiety Comfort // Cuddling & Sleep-Aid

Episode Date: February 5, 2021

Rated: [A] all genders; nicknames used: Darling // In the beginning, I ask if you need some comfort/cuddles. Once you’re all snuggled into me, we do some breathing exercises to help you get nice and relaxed. We acknowledge and validate your feelings together, and I remind you that it’s okay to feel anxious. You’re stronger than you think, and I believe in you. In the end, I suggest we continue cuddling, and I promise that you can stay in my arms for as long as you need to. I tell you that I love you and give you a sweet kiss. There’s some sleep aid (whispering, shushing, breathing) provided because cuddles and a short nap sound like a good idea (and you deserve some rest). // Tags: [Nervousness] [Comfort] [Reassurance] [Cuddles] [Breathing Exercises] [Safe Space] [Sleep Aid] [Gentle] [Shushing] [L-Bombs/ILY] [2 kisses]
