How To Truly Meet Someone In Pain
- Meeting someone in pain requires sensing “this could be me” and offering embodied tenderness.
- Balance resonance with enough mindful space so you aren’t overwhelmed when holding another's suffering.
Practice RAIN To Process Hard Emotions
- Use RAIN: Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture to metabolize difficult emotions.
- Finish by noticing how you rest more clearly in awareness after doing the steps.
Have An Emergency Soothing Plan
- When overwhelmed, bypass formal steps and reach for comforting connection or a prearranged soothing practice.
- Preidentify what grounds you (a person, prayer, song, or image) to call in during crises.
