Episode 2073:
Greg Audino addresses a listener's concern about helping a younger brother who consistently sees himself as a victim, often expressing a catastrophic, all-or-nothing viewpoint. By suggesting a shift from offering solutions to engaging in powerful, reflective questioning, Audino emphasizes the importance of empathy, patience, and self-examination in fostering understanding and change. This approach not only aids in navigating difficult conversations but also underscores the value of support over logic in overcoming fear and resistance.
Quotes to ponder:
"Your brother is scared, and sometimes logic can break people of their fears, but support almost always does a better job of it."
