'Talk someone (down) off the ledge' nghĩa là nói cho ai nguôi giận/lo lắng, cơn đau... sau khi họ vừa trải qua tình huống khó khăn.

Ví dụ
Meet Mark Shepard, the Jewish college student who talked Stephen Jackson off the ledge of anti-Semitism.

Talk yourself off the ledge with comforting self-talk after a setback. Self-soothing in the form of pep talks and supportive words (“You can do this”) reduces the stress and helps you hop back in the saddle and try again.

Kelly went on to say, “Paris was a complete disaster,” and that Trump had complained incessantly (phàn nàn không ngớt) on Air Force One flying back to Washington, and even thereafter. He kept rehashing what had gone wrong, along with demanding that Mattis and Nielsen be fired (bị sa thải), largely due to the Mexican border issue (vấn đề biên giới). Kelly said he had gotten Trump “off a number of ledges” but was not at all sure what would come next.
