Ever freeze up when someone says, “I’m not OK”? Learn how to respond with simple crisis communication skills that support, not shut down, your peer.
Ever feel stuck when someone opens up about something hard, and you have no idea what to say?
It’s not just you. Most people aren’t taught how to handle emotionally charged conversations. So when a coworker or team member says, “I’m struggling,” we either over-talk, underreact, or panic inside.
And if you’re on a peer support team? That silence can be costly.
Avoiding the conversation, brushing it off, or saying something well-meaning but clumsy can actually shut the person down. The truth is, most of us don’t need fancy therapy skills; we need a simple structure to guide hard conversations in a helpful, human way.
In this episode, you’ll learn a conversation framework that helps you support others without making things worse.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:
- How to respond when someone says, “I’m not OK”
- What helps people feel psychologically safe in hard conversations
- A simple structure you can use in almost any peer support situation
This episode is practical, encouraging, and designed to help you stay calm, stay present, and stay helpful when things get hard.
