How can I physically position myself to create safety in relationship for Billy? Can I sit down or squat to be less threatening but not in harm’s way? Can Billy respond to exploratory questions, not solutions I give him, that show I am interested? How can I convince Billy that I truly want to understand his struggle? How can I be more authentic for Billy? If I stop talking and start listening, will Billy feel like he has a voice? How can I serve Billy?
