You Can't Fix Grief with A Story About Yourself
Manage episode 481150885 series 3188408
Have you ever been told"Know how you feel," when you were grieving-and felt instantly misunderstood?
In this episode, I'm digging deep into why that phrase often backfires and what true empathy really looks like. If you want to support someone in grief-or you've felt unseen in you own loss-this is for you. I'm talking about the power of presence, the problem with emotional shortcuts, and how we can stop centering ourselves and start truly being there for others.
