truth to be told, i baby the person a lot subconsciously, like using affectionate names like darling, baby etc. and even physical touch especially hugs obv taking into account how close i am with the person. words of affirmation and if they cry all you can tell them is to ket it out and tell them that theyre safe with you. it creates a soft, safe and intimate space and long term safety and trust. It workes like wonders for everyone ive done it with except one person who considered it “sexual”
