Clarify the support you want
Dr. Jackson says when you are sharing news about your life with family, it can be very useful to just tell them what sort of support you want at that moment. “You can say ‘I want to share this with you, but I just want to share it.’ Or say ‘I want to feel supported.’ On the flip side, when you’re the one listening, you can say ‘Do you want my opinion or do you want me to listen?’ You can set up the boundaries within the conversation.”
