IMAD Processing Prompt - Are You A Problem Solver, A Facilitator, A Listener or A Someone Who Reassures?
Dear Reader
I am sure you have had experiences like I have, where there are times I just want to talk to someone about what I am feeling and thinking. Where I want to share my processing.
- And I share my processing purely so I am able to voice what I am thinking and feeling, as having someone listen to me, assists me to work through what is going on inside of me so that I can gain clarity for myself
- There are times when I need someone to ask me questions to prompt me with my processing
- There are also times when I am sharing what I am feeling because I just want someone to care enough to be there, listen, support, and comfort me at a level
- Then there are the times when I do want some input, some suggestions, and or some feedback as to what I am not seeing and hearing, and what I can do or could have done differently.
Yet how does the person know what I want from them if I do not communicate this to them?
You will also be the person that someone wants to share with and talk to.
And you may find that you tend to have a conditioned way that you interact with the person who is sharing.
Where without knowing why the person came to you and what they want from you, you unconsciously have an expectation of what approach you are meant to take with them.
- Are you the solution provider, where you make suggestions and feel like you have to have answers as to what they can do
- Are you the facilitator who asks questions, and supports them to explore what they are processing, so they come up with their own answers
- Are you the person who tends to reassure, support, encourage, and reinforce that everything will be ok
- Are you the listener, who does not say much, but is attentive and supportive in your energy and looks
What if - as the person sharing, you shared with the person you are talking to why you are sharing and what you need in your sharing
What if - as the person being shared with, you asked the question as to what the person sharing, needs, and wants from you, in their sharing
Make it easy for yourself

Your processing prompt provides an opportunity for you to delve into self-reflection and uncover more about yourself Dear Reader Are you more comfortable dealing with emotional pain or physical pain, both or neither? For me, I will take emotional pain over physical pain, any day. When I experience emotions I know I can work through them, because I understand why they are there, what I am experiencing, and what is required to work with them and heal them. It is a pain that I am familiar with...
