How to Help Someone in a Helping Position

How do we get into the minds of those that we want to help enough to understand where they're coming from, even if we don't agree with it? Well, it starts with what i just said, listening without judgment. Through your own empathy, you can model what giving empathy looks like and encourage her to follow suit. Pay more attention to the moment to moment interactions with her than you do her stories. This will help you stay present and speak from truth that you know,. Rather than latching on to whatever she says and not considering other sides of her stories.
