Just enough support is a delicate balance in human relationships. It implies finding a middle ground where people feel satisfied without either feeling neglected or overwhelmed.

 Giving someone enough time and attention means being present and supportive without suffocating them. It’s about respecting their space and boundaries while showing care and interest. It means being there when needed and providing encouragement and assistance without taking over or becoming overbearing. It’s about being a reliable source of help without imposing your solutions.

 It’s about person-centeredness.

 It’s about sharing thoughts and feelings appropriately and listening actively.

 Setting just enough expectations means having realistic and clear boundaries without imposing unreasonable demands or restrictions. It’s about finding a balance respecting needs and preferences. It includes offering encouragement and motivation without pushing too hard or making the person feel pressured.

 Just enough support involves working together as a team, where everyone contributes their share without one person dominating or overly relying on the other. It strikes a balance between being there for someone and allowing them space to grow and learn from their experiences.

 Knowing when just enough support is good enough requires understanding the individual’s needs, preferences, and comfort levels. It involves communication, empathy, and being attuned to what the other person wants and feels. Balancing support with respect for autonomy leads to healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

 This is the Montage way of person-centered support.
