Handling Other People's Reactions
Other people's responses can have a powerful emotional impact, particularly when you hoped for understanding or acceptance. This worksheet helps separate what belongs to you from what belongs to somebody else's beliefs or behaviour.
This downloadable reflection worksheet is designed to be used at your own pace. There are no right answers and you do not need to complete every section at once. It can be used independently or alongside counselling, coaching or other appropriate support.
You cannot control every reaction, but you can think about what protects you afterwards. A boundary, leaving a conversation, contacting somebody safe or reminding yourself that another person's discomfort does not determine your worth can all matter.
With warmth,
