The Ring Theory

Coming off of our last discussion regarding mental health and the power of check-in, I thought adding an additional tool for supporting family, friends, colleagues, etc. through a crisis or challenging situations would be great. We all want to be helpful and supportive to the circles of people around us, but we do not always know how to navigate difficult conversations. The Ring Theory designed by Susan Silk and her friend Barry Goldman is a tool that will help us continue our quest for greater connections by knowing how to comfort in and dump out.
