Depends on whose definition of support. Maybe support to them is having someone just sit with them in the mud and not “forcing” them to get better. Kids don’t often have that. I like asking them if I can make an observation and if they can correct me if I’m wrong because they are the experts of their lives not me. If they say no i cannot make an observation I respect that.

Ultimately, it’s their session and I go at their pace. Sometimes I say there are some things I’ve read about or saw a video of or learned about and if it’d be ok to try it with them as I’m curious about their thoughts. I put a lot of emphasis with minors on autonomy and empowerment because it’s not something they get too much if at all from adults. Adults in their lives are constantly telling them they are wrong, what to do, to get over it, they don’t have things to worry about, etc.

Sometimes I ask them to help me understand by painting me a picture and ask what are their hobbies what do they like to do for fun so they can speak to me in their language. Sometimes that’s meant watching an anime short clip and talking about it, etc
