A practical response can include choosing to name the worry without exaggerating it, ask a specific question, and remember that needing support is human. A clear question can make the situation more manageable to discuss, while your personal value remains larger than the amount or decision being considered.

Choose a trustworthy person to speak with.

Allow this choice to be enough for today.
