Episode 08: They’re Not Okay… and Neither Am I — How to Support a Friend Who’s Crashing Out - A conversation with Dr. Byron Böck

Sometimes the person who’s not okay is someone you deeply care about, and suddenly you’re the one trying to hold everything together without knowing how. In this episode our host Selma Ndasilohenda Iyambo is joined by Dr. Byron Böck, a medical doctor and public health professional, for an honest and practical conversation about what it really means to support a friend in an emotional crisis, especially when you are not in the best emotional space yourself.

Through a real-life scenario, this episode explores how someone can appear calm while experiencing serious emotional distress, what steps to take when a friend is overwhelmed or disoriented, and how the principles of psychological first aid; look, listen, and link can guide you in those critical moments. Dr. Böck also speaks about the emotional impact on supporters, the importance of not carrying a crisis alone, and when it is necessary to involve family members, other trusted individuals, or professional and emergency services.

This conversation is for the friends, the helpers, and the ones often called “the strong ones.” It is a reminder that showing up for someone you love is meaningful and powerful, but you are not a therapist, not a crisis team, and not meant to carry someone else’s pain on your own. Support should be shared, and you deserve care too.
