Ok we hear this all the time! What is that? Stop crying.
We say it to our children even. I mean some of us will even say, 'stop your crying or i'll give you something to cry about'. Ick right?
We cry for a reason, and others around us may not understand our root reason which is why often they want us to stop crying because they believe we are being sad and hurt for no reason. However this is always a reason. And we need emotional validation even if we do not agree with the reasons we say we are crying.
Here are some very useful ways, that are healthy btw, to say to someone that is crying.
No more dismissing and shaming even if the other person crying is making you uncomfortable. Remember the words we say last much longer than that moment. So many adults now do not know how to cry because they were shamed when they were a child. This is important.
And we are here to help you learn how to do this better if this is something you think you need help with.
