“Advice can often leave me feeling worse, even if it is well-intentioned. I just want to be heard and feel understood, even if it doesn’t make sense to the other person.”
“Sometimes what helps most isn’t advice — it’s someone saying, ‘I get why you feel that way.'”
Advice has its place, but so does quiet understanding. Not every pain needs a solution; sometimes it just needs to be witnessed.
When we listen without judgment and imagine what it might be like for the other person, we make room for real healing. 🌱
Listen well,
Love Jen
