Wanting the Pain to Stop Isn’t the Same as Wanting to Change

Sometimes people ask for help because they want relief from the pain—not because they’re ready to act on a solution.

Being heard may help them feel better temporarily, but lasting change requires more than another conversation. It requires a willingness to take responsibility for the next step.

You can listen, care, and offer direction—but you cannot want the solution more than they do.
