When a friend of mine was going through a hard time she often came to me for help. I learned the way she would express her emotions and act when upset and it became easy to pick up on how she was feeling when she spoke to me.]]> 2016-06-13 03:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/breanna_rahnema/aw82dq9o8wuu/wish/114441590 Skill Two: Be Aware Of Other People’s Emotions  breanna_rahnema https://padlet.com/breanna_rahnema/aw82dq9o8wuu/wish/114442060 "Be sympathetic to other people's misfortunes and congratulate their positive landmarks. To do this you need to be aware of what is going on in other people’s lives" (3). 

This friend had become very closed off and never wanted to do anything with her other friends and we all were not sure why. Eventually she told me her parents were fighting and she thought they were on the verge of a divorce. ]]> 2016-06-13 03:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/breanna_rahnema/aw82dq9o8wuu/wish/114442060 Skill Three: Empathize breanna_rahnema https://padlet.com/breanna_rahnema/aw82dq9o8wuu/wish/114542162 " Empathy is trying to see things from the point-of-view of others" (3).

My friend often came to me after she told me about her parents because my parents had gone through a divorce when I was younger and because of this it was easier to relate to the problems she was facing.]]> 2016-06-13 22:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/breanna_rahnema/aw82dq9o8wuu/wish/114542162 Skill Four: Encourage breanna_rahnema https://padlet.com/breanna_rahnema/aw82dq9o8wuu/wish/114542421 "Offer words and actions of encouragement, as well as praise, to others. Make other people feel welcome, wanted, valued and appreciated in your communications" (3).

Every time I could tell my friend was upset I would encourage her to talk about it and offer the opportunity for her to vent. At the end of these conversations I would also remind her that I was always there for her if she needed someone to talk to.]]> 2016-06-13 22:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/breanna_rahnema/aw82dq9o8wuu/wish/114542421
