🚫 Avoid Saying: “You’re crazy.”
✅ Try Saying: “That sounds really tough. How can I support you?”
🚫 Avoid Saying: “Just get over it.”
✅ Try Saying: “I’m here for you. What do you need right now?”
🚫 Avoid Saying: “Everyone feels that way sometimes.”
✅ Try Saying: “Your feelings are valid. Want to talk about it?”
