Healing Conversations: How to Engage in Dialogue to Help a Loved One

When a loved one is struggling, facing difficulties in life, stress, or depression, the simplest way we can help is to talk to them. But how do we ensure that the conversation is genuinely beneficial? Ilse Sand — a psychotherapist... and author of bestsellers "With Love for Oneself" and "Close to the Heart" — explains how to make a candid, heartfelt conversation truly healing. She clarifies when to take the initiative and when to remain silent and listen; what to ask and how to respond to answers; why one should not become a shoulder for others' tears, and in what situations directness is appropriate, and in which examples and analogies are better suited. This book will help readers develop empathy and learn how to assist others.
