Dr. .bock emphasises the importance of approaching support with empathy rather than sympathy, explaining that empathy helps you think clearly, provide meaningful support, and protect your own emotional well-being while supporting a friend or loved one who is struggling.
“You have to be strong for your friend at that point in time,” he reminds us.
