How to encourage a friend to get therapy (without blowing up your friendship)

You’re trying to be a supportive, empathetic friend. You listen as they outline significant challenges in their life. Maybe they’re feeling low or stressed, or there’s tension at home or in relationships.
You’ve heard it’s best not to jump in with solutions, or try to “fix” anything, and instead just listen without judging them.
