Everything you want in 'a Supporter'

Supporters are people who:

• care about you

• empathize with you

• affirm and validate you and your experience

• accept you as you are

• don’t have you all figured out

• listen to you and share with you

• advocate for you

• enjoy sharing fun and interesting activities with you

• can make decisions and take action in your behalf when you can’t do this for yourself

• are willing to follow your predetermined plans

In a supporting environment…

• there is no criticism or judging.

• sharing is optional. It is neither encouraged or discouraged.

• what a person talks about is not limited in anyway.

• everything discussed at and the people participating is confidential.

I made this list to share it around to be honest, so I am much obliged if it becomes useful to you in anyway.
Cudos!
