3 Ways to Help a Friend in Crisis
1. Don’t say “If you need anything, let me know.” even if you mean it.  It puts the pressure on the person in crisis to figure out what you mean by “anything.”
2. Be persistent.  Allowing someone to help is culturally very difficult.  When was the last time you said “Sure, I’d love the help!”?
3. Look at your own life. If you were in crisis, with stress hormones raging through your brain, what could someone do for you that would be very helpful? Do that for the person in crisis.
For more tips on how to help a friend through crisis, please go to www.exactlywhattheyneed.com
