Your Healing Doesn’t Need to Fix Me

from Getting Through Today · host Brita Bigler Peterson

Episode 27: Sometimes when we share what we’re going through, people rush to respond with solutions, advice, or “positive” reframes. But in the process, they can unintentionally skip over the most important thing — acknowledging the pain.In this episode, I’m exploring the difference between compassion and correction, and why trying to fix someone can sometimes create more disconnection than comfort. I’ll share personal stories about times I’ve needed presence more than answers, and what I’ve learned about truly holding space for others in their hardest moments.Whether you’re navigating your own healing or walking alongside someone else in theirs, this conversation is a reminder that empathy is often the most powerful thing we can offer.💛 Listen now to Getting Through Today wherever you get your podcasts.
