What Isnt Emotional Support?

• When it comes to emotional support, it is
  important to understand what it isn't. Offering
  emotional support does not mean trying to solve
  someone's problems for them or telling them how
  to feel. It also doesn't involve minimizing or
  dismissing their concerns or trying to distract
  them from the issue at hand. Rather, emotional
  support is about being present for the
  individual, actively listening to their concerns,
  and providing a safe and supportive environment
  for them to express their emotions.
