The rule

A person needs to feel understood before they can accept help.

Prioritizing emotional connection builds trust. This approach helps a person become stronger emotionally.

A person's first reaction is often to fix a problem. However, the upset person first needs to feel heard. The upset person needs to feel their feelings are valid. This approach builds trust. It also builds emotional strength.

A parent sees their child is very sad. The parent wants to ask, 'What did you do wrong?' Instead, the parent says, 'That sounds incredibly painful. I am so sorry that happened. Tell me more about it.' The child feels safe to share their feelings.
