5 Steps For Comforting Someone Who's Sad, Frustrated Or Angry

__________

The other day my friend called me, frustrated.

He felt sidelined at work and unsure how to process his emotion constructively.

To help, I used the formula that's been my go-to for years (it's kind of my blended BFF/coach technique that I'm so grateful to lean on). Why? Because knowing how to offer comforting words for a friend who is sad, frustrated or angry can be made easier. You don't have to be perfect with perfect words to say; you can simply ask these questions instead.

Consoling someone so that they feel heard means that you care. And being a comforting person means you're someone that people in your life can trust.

You can use this technique with a child, a relative, a co-worker, ANYONE!

Comforting a friend in life counts for a lot. It makes the world better when we feel seen and heard.

Best of all, the timing is perfect because emotions can run high during the holiday season. Tuning into this video might be the best few minutes you spend this week.

With love, 💕

So weird. I ask this when assessing pain from an injury... didn't think to ask for emotions. I love it! So much easier to see where they really are at according to them and helps them to see where they are too. I'll add this to my toolbox - or.... bring it back up since it's always been there but only for certain situations. Thanks Susie!

Today I recorded a guided meditation called “Inner Child Healing meditation for processing Loss” (not the catchiest title I know, but it was my first go at recording a guided meditation for my “inner child healing with LeeSun” group.

After recording, I was flooded with self doubt and felt deeply disheartened.

Watching this lovely little video now has been incredibly validating and uplifting, as I realised that the guided meditation which i produced today, following my intuition, followed this 5 step process EXACTLY!!! 🤯 the meditation takes nearly half an hour as it guides you through a chat with your inner child, inviting them to first notice what they’re feeling emotionally and where in their body you feel it, then moving on to naming the emotions and sensations, describing them, then asking what’s causing these feelings, and then finally giving your inner child absolutely everything they need and want, whether in words, or holding them in your imagination, and so on.

So happy that I’ve seen this just now. I’ll edit the meditation tomorrow and upload it to my group. Thank you so much Susie for being a part of my journey, you are amazing 🙏🏼

Forgot asking others these questions—as an INTJ it can take days (years) to figure out what I’m feeling. Im going to ask myself these!

Thank you so much for this video! I am a Caregiver and I don’t know how to identify this one lady, because she is going through a tough time in her life.
