The power of bearing witness -- A new friend shared this question that her dad started asking her lately. “Do you want to be heard, helped, or hugged?” It’s brilliant. I knew I had to send this question your way too.
I love that question. So many times I don’t know what to say or do, and it feels so awkward. This question gives the speaker the ability to tell me what he/she needs. Thank you!
“do you want to be heard, helped, or hugged?”What an incredibly loving and intentional question! I am absolutely going to try this out. Thank you for your wisdom and for helping us love others and ourselves better 💖
Thank you Jenny. Such truth and such helpful thoughts on this big question. How to help. Giving the speaker agency to ask for help.
