helping my friends does not include judging them  

Posted by Zimmerman Stein in , , , , , , , , , , , ,

i notice that when someone asks for help i do two things:

1. i praise them and help them connect to the work they're doing. i help them find joy and strength by acknowledging their deep commitment to growing and being authentic. i affirm life as i see it.
2. i put my long held judgments into the conversation. my opinions find a place. i express my buried feelings or judgments in a seemingly helpful way. i judge, make right and wrong, the people i'm committed to help.
