“You always know what I’m talking about when I say a hard time and you never try to fix it: you just understand.“
Being heard...being understood...and knowing that your feelings are valid.
"Do you want me to help with solutions or just listen?
“I’m sorry, that’s got to be so hard.”
It helps so much. Then you can carry on with your day knowing someone listened, you were understood and your feelings were validated.
The art of listening. The art of understanding. The art of validation.
