 Hey, what's up you guys welcome back to my channel if you're new here. Hi. Hello. I'm Lydia and today we're talking about how you can help someone Who's hearing voices? If you are new here, please hit the subscribe button during the growing family It means the world to me, and I really want to hit 6.2k. There's a lot of positive things you can do to support someone who's hearing voices. To begin with you have to accept their experience of Hearing voices is real. Everyone will have a unique experience of hearing voices. You can help by accepting the experience is real, even if you find it hard to understand. Next is try not to make judgments about what hearing voices means for them. Some people don't talk about their voices because they're worried the friends and family won't understand or will assume they're seriously ill. Next learn triggers. Ask them to and situations or experiences that trigger the voices. Next is remember that they're still the same person. Hearing voices doesn't change who they are. Ask them what would help. Next is reassure them they're not alone. Lots of people who hear voices don't hear what other people do too. It may also help to remind them that hearing voices doesn't always mean nail. There are lots of reasons why people hear voices. Encourage them to talk about their experience. This might mean talking with you or they may want to talk to a doctor, a support worker or other people who hear voices. Next is focus on feeling. Ask them how the voices make them feel rather than what they're saying. Next is try not to take things personally. It could be hard to focus on conversations if you're hearing voices. Try to be patient with them if they seem distracted or say they need some time alone. Next help to distract them. Try to suggest an activity or task such as watching a film or going for a walk or cooking a meal. These are just some things that you can do to help someone who's hearing voices.
