How to Listen When Someone You Care About is Suffering with Their Mental Health

If you want to support someone in your life who is struggling with their mental health, this is the episode for you.

Recorded back in 2019 (!) as part of a video series I did for Mental Health Awareness Week, this episode focuses on effective listening when someone else is in emotional distress.

Learn:

• Why we shut down other people's negative emotions - even when we don't mean to
• The positive, long-lasting impact of simply listening, not getting involved
• How (and when) to listen to your friend, colleague, family member or partner when they are in pain
