Ever tried to help someone in distress, only to have it blow up in your face? ๐ฅ
You had the best intentions. You offered solid advice. You tried to cheer them up. But instead of a "thank you," you got:
โ "You just don't understand!"
โ An angry outburst or a defensive wall.
โ Or worse... they just shut down completely.
Itโs a heartbreaking feeling. You want to be their lifeline, but it feels like you're accidentally pushing them further underwater. What went wrong?
The truth is, supporting someone in emotional pain is a skill, not just an intention. Join us at BGF for an eye-opening session with the mindfulness-based psychiatrist ๐๐ฟ. ๐ฃ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ to bridge that gap.
๐ฑ From ๐ ๐๐ฌ๐๐ข๐ช? to ๐๐๐ก๐ผ๐ฉ๐:
Listening to Heal, Speaking to Support in Emotional Distress
In this talk, youโll discover how to move from "๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐" to "๐ฐ๐ผ๐ก๐ก๐ฒ๐ฐ๐" before healing. Dr. Phang will introduce two playful, yet powerful and easy-to-remember tools:
๐๐ ๐๐ฌ๐๐ข๐ช?: A simple guide for mindful listening (itโs more than just being quiet!).
๐๐๐๐ก๐ผ๐ฉ๐: A compassionate framework for responding with empathy and validation so others feel truly heard and safe.
