Distress

How to help someone in distress

Submitted by Joy Hazlehurst on Sun, 19/02/2012 - 18:09

A persons emotional distress can be very difficult to witness and we can do much in that moment to ease or compound that distress. Often our own discomfort or fear of that distress causes us to try and 'rescue' and/or 'calm down' that person but in so doing we frequently make the situation much worse.
