That means everyone can only truly understand, speak to, and represent their own experience. You can offer advice and resources, but ultimately, only someone who has directly experienced an issue can be in the best position to provide a solution.
Do NOT offer advice unless asked or you are teaching group, giving a speech, workshop, similar. It's A form of microaggression and should be avoided.
Think twice and take time before offering resources as it's insulting and condescending to assume the person doesn't already know about resources. Always wait to be asked to help and ask questions to determine if they are aware. After stepping back and thinking I try to say "I'm sure you know about x resourse but in case you haven't I , friends, and family found it helpful.
