Help someone by being around.
Sometimes it is understood by helping someone who does not allow himself to be helped, to be the savior of that person. And this is literally impossible. Remember that even though that person will not let you help you are doing good with your interest for her, your love and your presence. Being close to someone is a first step because the moment that person asks for your help, you will be there to support them.
Respect the rhythm of the other.
It should be noted that each person needs their own process, its rhythm and its time to become aware of something that from the outside may be easier to see. The environment can produce the opposite effect to the desired one by putting pressure on the person with the same issue. On the other hand, when you are patient, you are letting the other person elaborate their experiences and realize what is wrong with them.
Consult with a psychologist.
Each case is different, it has specific nuances. For this reason, if there is a person close to you who is not having a good time due to having a difficult problem and you do not know how to act, then you can consult with a psychologist to give you some guidelines for action.
