The Complexity of Being a Good Comforter
Knowing how to comfort effectively can make a significant difference in how people close to you are able to deal with difficult situations.

Results from studies have demonstrated that effective comforting doesn’t come from an effective trait or technique, but rather a “person- centered” approach that takes into account the distressed person and elements of the situation.
