Key idea
A non-judgmental conversation does not mean agreeing with everything. It means trying to understand the person and the situation without humiliation, ridicule or unnecessary judgment.
Questions to ask yourself
- What exactly is bothering me?
- What outcome do I want?
- What have I already tried?
- What is one practical next step?
When a conversation can help
A structured conversation can help you organize thoughts, consider options and decide on a next action. Talk To Me is not a substitute for licensed medical, legal, tax, investment or emergency services.
