When helping others who suffer, share experience-based
When helping others who suffer, share experience-based knowledge of what lies ahead rather than attempting to fix current pain, as the credibility of shared experience provides proof-of-concept that professional support cannot.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Tacit Knowledge Exceeds Linguistic Expression (tacit knowledge exists as genuine understanding that resists linguistic formalization) and Cognitive and Affective Empathy Are Distinct (cognitive empathy is distinct from affective empathy). The principle prescribes what TYPE of help to offer (experiential knowledge, not emotional rescue) based on what only experience-based helpers can uniquely provide.
