empathy means you get to a level of understanding by feeling what the other person is feeling
when someone needs empathy you have to be careful because someone in an emotional state can be very difficult to handle and each person acts differently to the actions that are listed
reserving judment- is the most imortant and applies to basicly everyone. they are in need of you to be non judgemental when they hit their low and to just be there for them.
not asking questions- some people just want to vent and just hear them. if you do ask something do it lightly and for clarification less challedge
constuctive criticism be careful when some one hits rock bottom they are going to let all their emotions out and make not think them through. criticism of any sort bad or good can not only be unhelpful but extremly harmful. not being in the proper mind might make them feel threatend. some will shut down, stoping them from going through their problem or it will agitate and cause them to feel negetive, hateful, aggresive, stalling the healing process.
paraphrasing-when the person needs empathy they will spew out their feelings in a very raw way. if you need to write it down or clarigy paraphrase it to them in a question to see if that is what they mean. clarify the acual idea because if you do it on your own you might miss the crux of what they are trying to convey in their rage of emotions
evaluating the persons credibility- i would say no to. they are sad they might exagerate or throw in a white lie just to send their point home. they may not even realise what they are doing. also if you are listening to the person you sort of are saying that you believe them. if you feel that something doesnt make sence ask to clarify or wait until the sever emotions die down.
