Michele Favarger “Don’t Just Do Something, Stand There! How to Provide Support to People in Emotional Pain”
When someone we love is in emotional pain, we want to fix their hurt, to make it go away, so they don’t suffer. So we look for a solution, and among other things, we sympathize or we share stories of how we have suffered similarly.
There is another far more effective option. And what about people in our lives who might verbalize their disappointment regularly? Is there a way to support them that doesn’t leave us drained? Come listen to Michele outline how we might respond differently, providing the support we yearn to offer.
