How Can I Support You?

When life throws its curve balls or challenges arise, we are often asked:  “How can I support you?”.  It can sometimes be difficult to answer this question.  Through my own challenges, I’ve learned the best support I can receive is to be heard.  Just listen to me and allow me to hear and speak what I am feeling.

It is being strong to ask for support when we need it...  However, what stops me from asking… the fear of judgement or being labeled a victim… how often do we think of someone who has been through a challenging time and remember their challenge rather than their triumph…

Sometimes, when one asks for support, the fear of judgement or concern one may be viewed as a victim surfaces.  The greatest gift we can offer in providing support is to listen without fixing, rescuing or having the answers… simply hold the person able to request your assistance.  We all have the answers within us and yet at times we fail to trust our wisdom…  by being heard and hearing what I am thinking through sharing, it becomes easier for me to be clear what type of support I desire.

When I share a painful story it helps me to heal.  When I hang on to the drama of the story, it keeps me stuck and there is no movement… the healing is delayed.  It is so important to feel my feelings and then to let go and trust that the answer to the problem will surface.

Unconditional support empowers you with the strength to move forward…  the confidence you can trust yourself… the courage to make the decisions that will take care of you the best… and the clarity to be able to ask for support when it is needed.
