3️⃣📖 Peer Modeling
Relating For Us
It’s like the classic Toby Keith song, “I wanna talk about me”:
Waiting to share my story while they talk
Thinking about how relevant my story is to their experience
Sharing for a long period of time
Not having an intentional effect I’m trying to create by sharing
Relating For Them
Even in sharing about yourself, it’s not for you:
Begin with deep, reflective listening
Identify an area of their story that needs “hope” modeled: optimism, coping, or advocacy
Picking a piece of my story that could speak to that specific need
Relating what is essential to create that effect
