Pick a template
Acknowledge their feelings, then suggest.
Empathy-first — structure
- 1Acknowledge
Show you get it.
"I can absolutely see why this has been weighing on you."
- 2Main suggestion
Be specific.
"What I'd genuinely recommend is that you sit down and map out exactly what's draining your energy."
- 3Reason
Why this helps.
"That matters because, until you can name the problem clearly, any fix will only be a temporary patch."
- 4Backup idea
A second option.
"If that doesn't quite click, another route worth trying is having an honest conversation with someone who's been through the same thing."
- 5Encourage
Warm close.
"You've handled bigger challenges than this — I have no doubt you'll come out the other side stronger."
Pro tips
- •Speak directly to the listener ('you'), not in the third person.
- •Use modals: should, could, might, why don't you, you might want to…
- •Two well-explained ideas > five rushed ones.
