How to open up
about your
Mental Health?
5 Steps to #StartTalking:
#TalkingHeals
Choose your
Listener
1.
When you do decide to open up,
choose your listener wisely. Someone who
- is Evolved
- is a Good Listener
- is Kind
The one who doesn't make you feel judged!
#TalkingHeals
2. Method of
Communication
What makes you feel comfortable?
Writing a letter, chatting, a phone call, or
face to face conversation?
Plan your opening-up session like you'd plan
for a date or a get-together.
#TalkingHeals
3. Mock-Talk!
Have a mock-conversation with yourself before
your opening-up date. This way, you'll have the
right words to express yourself.
It's important to help your loved one understand
how you feel.
#TalkingHeals
4. Give Examples
Your friend or loved one, although kind
and generous, may not have working
knowledge or understanding of your
concern.
Use examples to help them understand
further
#TalkingHeals
5. Acknowledge
We all want to be understood. Treat
your chat with your loved one as a
two-way street. Think of ways to make
the communication effective by using
encouraging words like
"I appreciate your support."
