Having someone to talk to can make a big difference.
People here tend to not take me seriously, but I could do a lot for a person over the course of their taxi ride... Never heard from most of them again, but every once-in-a-while I’d see someone again or get a txt or a call back.
Sometimes all a person really needs is another perspective on their predicament, to help them realize there are other ways of looking at the problem.
Many of the more-effective types of counseling incorporate Milton Erickson’s insights. I’ve mentioned Erickson before, currently having trouble drafting this comment on my phone, so I refer to my previous comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18504538 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18504538
