Jemma: 本期节目讨论了如何支持患有心理健康问题的亲朋好友。作者指出，大约四分之一的人正在与心理健康作斗争，这比我们想象的要普遍得多。由于每个人都有亲朋好友，所以很多人都会看到他们所爱的人在受苦，并想要提供帮助，但他们不知道如何去做。作者分享了七个技巧，这些技巧来自个人经验和治疗建议，旨在帮助人们更好地支持患有心理健康问题的所爱之人。这些技巧包括：教育自己，深入了解所爱之人的病理、生物学和心理机制；倾听并确认所爱之人的感受，避免将自己的经历与他们进行比较，或将他们的情绪归因于自己；了解伴侣的情感处理方式，以便更好地提供支持；为自身设定界限，腾出时间和空间进行自我照顾；寻求自身的支持，例如治疗师、家人或朋友；在他们不在场时为心理健康发声，挑战偏见和污名；即使伴侣的心理健康问题会影响到关系，也要努力维持这段关系，并继续约会和创造共同回忆。作者强调，即使你犯了错，也不要责备自己，因为支持所爱之人是一个复杂的过程。
