Healing Conversations: How to Build a 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 can we ensure that the conversation is truly beneficial? Ilse Sand – a psychotherapist... and bestselling author of "With Love for Oneself" and "Close to the Heart" – explains how to make an honest, heartfelt conversation truly healing. She outlines when to take the initiative, and when to remain silent and listen; what questions to ask and how to respond to the answers; why one should not become a shoulder for others' tears, and in which situations directness is appropriate, and in which examples and analogies are more suitable. This book will help readers develop empathy and learn to assist others.
