I hope each of you are enjoying a respite in the next couple of days - whether you're celebrating Easter, Passover, or just the long weekend, and whether you're self-isolating with close friends or familly or alone. I hope you find way to #connect.

Have you ever tried to help a friend that was depressed? They are in a hole. The best that you can do is to be with them. You don't have to give advice or fix it. Being empathic and understanding that this is a rough time is important. Metaphorically hold their hand.

It takes courage to admit that we are disappointed in our own behavior; it is humbling to confess that we have been insensitive or uncaring.... If we can do this with sincerity, we are giving our loved ones a great gift. #emotionallyfocusedtherapy #holdmetight #MondayMotivation
