The coping ladder · how support lands

Four corners, two moves each

Only Corner 4 helps — the other three don't.
Empower (share what they can't carry alone), don't enable (carry what's theirs).
Each corner has a passive (being) and active (doing) half.

Cloud's four corners of connection

4True connection

Caring and honest. Fuels growth. (Empowering.)The goal

3Pseudo-good

Warm but false — soothing, not growing. (Enabling.)

2Bad connection

They're left feeling judged or "less-than." (Control.)

1Disconnected

No real connection. Withdrawn, absent. (Withdrawal.)
