How to: Be heard without judgment

Why this happens

Sometimes the most helpful thing is to be seen and understood without advice or judgment. When stress is high and stories are tangled, people need space to decompress before solving.

What usually helps

A compassionate, non directive conversation lowers arousal and helps organize experience. The recommended starter uses a holding space approach so you feel heard first; clarity and choices can follow later if desired.
