While we can see this gesture used to actually ask people to 'hold it down' with the intent of other to be quiet, but in this particular case it is used to symbolically hold down or control a thought and/or issue.
It can be used to signify it is not as big of a problem as portrayed. It also can be used as a plea to control emotions. This is a gesture that needs to be evaluated in the context in which it is delivered.◦
