When you think about “being there for someone” consider “holding space” for them. We aren’t tying to fix, say the right words, judge....any of those things....just show up, open your arms if they need them and just hold the space for them. Sometimes it is hard to turn that part of our brain off, but it is so powerful and helpful when we do.

First, let’s remember that empathy is NOT sympathy. Empathy is looking at someone’s situation and understanding how they got there whether you agree with it or not. Then you put yourself in their shoes and imagine what it feels like....
I think it is easy to end up in the weeds sometimes in relationships and situations because we look at things only from our view point and only from our experiences. We lose so much richness in our connections and understanding when we do that. I invite us all to slow down this week and listen without forming our response in our heads while the other person speaks, empathize, then respond.

I know we all have a chapter or a moment we would prefer not be read aloud....the majority of the time we are doing the best we can with what we know at that time. We can’t judge our past selves with our current experiences. It simply isn’t fair. Be kind.
