This visual metaphor is commonly used in counseling resources, relationship blogs, and emotional intelligence training materials.

Used on psychology, relationship advice, or communication skills web pages to illustrate interpersonal conflict, emotional regulation, or the importance of active listening. Matches user intent seeking help with arguments, marital discord, or emotional awareness.
