“I got you” is sometimes slang for “I understand you” or can also be used as a reassuring phrase (more like: it’s ok, I’ll protect you). Does one of those make sense in context?

Who knew hearing or saying simply “I Got U” carried so much positive affirmation!? Such a statement has helped me overcome many personal and professional obstacles during my lifetime. I even currently say those words to myself as a form of positive self-talk from time to time. With more than 15 years of working in Behavioral Health, I created “I Got U” as a safe space to remind whomever that: I see them, I hear them, and what they say does matter.
