In this episode we will explore some of the challenges that come with helping others navigate hard times in their lives. Often times, when we give care to others who are struggling – we will feel the “sting” of their pains and hurts in the form of an outburst. Similar to a lightning strike – the source of the problem is a person’s pain but it isn’t typically felt until it strikes “the closest rod.” If you’ve ever felt the “strike” of another persons’ pain – this is an important conversation to listen in on.
