When people are hurting, our first instinct is to change their feelings. What often helps them more is validating their feelings.

Sharing your perspective is less comforting than showing you understand their perspective.

Emotions need to be recognized before they're regulated.

"People are going to judge you no matter what you do. But your life won’t flash before anyone else’s eyes at the end, so stop worrying about how you look to everyone else and focus on living a story you’ll feel good watching.” ~Lori Deschene

Amen 🙏🏻

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In hard times, people don't want to be told to look on the bright side. They want to know you're on their side.

Even if you can't help them feel better, you can always help them feel seen.

The best way to support others is not to cheer them up. It's to show up.

@heinrichexplore Love this! I ask students all the time…who made up that expectation that is stressing you out and giving you so much anxiety??? I have to remind myself of this often.

"Too often I believe counselors and healers of all kinds are expected to be “nice” and to be available for everyone for anything all the time. This is far from what’s healthy, sustainable or realistic." https://t.co/L5a0JkLcxW

School counselors wear many hats, often serving as advocates, mentors, advisors, and so much more.
We asked a few of the @ASCAtweets State School Counselors of the Year: What role do #counselors play in the school community?
