STOP Giving Unsolicited Advice To People With Skin Rashes! | Jennifer Fugo

If you’ve ever been vulnerable enough to share some pretty embarrassing details of what’s going on with your skin, you’ve probably gotten a lot of comments and advice that you really didn’t ask for.

Especially when some people have very firm (ahem… pushy) beliefs that dictate that there’s just ONE WAY to solve your problem.

I’ll bet you may have regretted sharing.

Living with chronic skin rashes can be a very isolating experience. When you can’t safely share where you are without the onslaught of what is known as unsolicited advice, it can make you think twice about ever sharing again.

Today I’m breaking down how to avoid constantly giving unsolicited advice and how to better support people in the chronic skin rash community (and in your life).

SHOW NOTES:
• What is unsolicited advice?
• Why unsolicited advice is incredibly unhelpful and unsupportive no matter how good your intentions are
• How to respond to someone sharing their story that’s more supportive
• The one phrase you must never use when responding to someone’s vulnerable health share
