I agree with Hannah
We can use creative ways to communicate nonverbally

Some massage combos work synergistically
I love blending the caring Cs up the inside of the forearm and then flowing down with slow finger-waves to the fingertips & repeat

I love when a client relaxes enough to fall asleep during a treatment
As they stir now and then, soft reminders of who I am & what' I'm doing help re-anchor their trust

Here's another suggestion from "Waiting for the Bus" by Sam Dondi Smith w Prof David Sheard
It’s quicker to take over
but distress takes longer to undo
Supporting autonomy should be part of the job description

Not so long ago, in a place not so far away,
there lived beautiful souls whose stories whispered the same truth
In the quiet after care
when the storm had stilled
when the mind had calmed
voices would find their wings
