Psychology, Actually

Watching Someone You Love Struggle (And Not Being Able to Fix It)


Listen Later

What do you do when someone you love is struggling, but you canโ€™t fix what theyโ€™re going through? In this episode of Inner Work, Dr Marianne Trent explores the importance of holding hope, focusing on what we can control and responding to distress with compassion rather than shame.

Drawing on psychology, systemic therapy and personal reflections, Marianne discusses how curiosity, understanding and compassion can help us support others while accepting the limits of what we can change.
