Republished with permission from the Whitman College Peer Listener Handbook
Note: The handbook is an excellent resource, especially when listening in person,
however it does not perfectly mesh with LiveWire's "Peer Answers" philosophy.
|
- Don't use the word SHOULD, it implies you are telling your peer what to do, this can have bad consequences.
- Don't forget physical limitations... such as fatigue and hunger.
- Don't try to solve your peer's problem for them.
- Don't forget to discuss FEELINGS first, before moving on to how to solve the problem.
- Don't tell war stories.
- Remember to take care of yourself! You cannot help others if you are not well yourself.
