Stoic Stress ep 85 : Enchiridion 26 : In Someone Else's Shoes
Enchiridion 26 takes the approach of reverse perspective of looking at someone’s circumstances from their perspective. You look at the choices and decisions they have to make and are able to be rational.
It gives a degree of separation where we think it is not so bad for the other person. We should take this approach in our own lives and see things are not so bad for ourselves. We can manage if we follow the same advise we give to others.
Epictetus uses the analogy of when a wife or child die. This approach can help with others in dealing with human trauma.
When someone you care about has experienced emotional trauma, your support is critical for helping them to process their experience and deal with their emotions healthily. While you may not think there is much you can do to help your loved one, you would be a mistake.
