[quote=Anonymous]Remember the mantra "Believe women" from #metoo? It applies generally. Feelings are never wrong. Someone's lived experience is their truth, even if it isn't yours. You won't get anywhere by telling someone that they shouldn't be upset. Validay their feelings, give them time and space to lament or mourn. Then give them ideas for how to take steps to improve. Not one-step to fix everything, but ask them for their own ideas to to move them from where they are in the direction of where they want to go. Then support them taking those steps. Give your advice as add-ons to their own; don't push your own ideas against theirs. [/quote]
