Ask these four questions<br />

• Does your loved one know how to solve the problem?<br />

• Is emotion interfering <strong>with</strong> either her ability to problem solve<br />

or to engage in the behavior to solve the problem<br />

• Does she have an issue <strong>with</strong> confidence (“I always do the<br />

wrong thing)<br />

• Do you have a problem <strong>with</strong> how she is asking you for help?<br />

If you don’t have clear picture, make your help contingent on<br />

having information. Remember that everything is grist to help<br />

her change her life.<br />
