“In a world obsessed with doing, this book teaches us about being. “How to Sit with Someone” is a thoughtful and deeply human reflection on connection, reminding us that the most meaningful support is presence, empathy, and the courage to simply share space.”
— Jennifer Eyford, MSc BSc BN RN, Director at The Alex
“This is the third book by Gerrard that I have read, and each one has deepened my reflection on both my own mental health and how to better support others. This book captures the unique strength of peer support, showing how meaningful help can come through grounded, respectful communication rather than authority or by being prescriptive. It is a valuable read not only for those in the mental health support community, but also for friends and family members wanting to support someone with greater care in everyday life.”
