Before someone can understand you, you may need the words.

Hi, I'm Ian.

​

I wrote Just Sit With Me after years of trying to explain experiences that people often misunderstood. This guide grew from that work. My hope is that it helps you find words for experiences that have been difficult to describe, and gives the people in your life a better place to begin listening.

Download the free My Sit With Me Guide.

A printable communication guide that helps you explain what helps you feel heard, what shuts you down, and how the people in your life can better receive you.

Inside you'll find:

• A shareable communication guide
• Reflection prompts that help you find your words
• Space to identify what helps you feel received
• Practical language you can share with the people who care about you

Inside, you'll find space to reflect on:

• What helps you feel received
• What unintentionally shuts you down
• The phrases that help—and the ones that hurt
• How others can better understand your communication style
• A letter you can share with someone who genuinely wants to understand you

​

You do not have to share all of it.

Sometimes one sentence is enough.
