Solitamente, quando facciamo riferimento alla nostra rete di supporto pensiamo alle persone della nostra vita con cui abbiamo un legame nato all’interno della famiglia, della scuola o del lavoro, o costruito attraverso amicizie o vicinato. Decenni di ricerca hanno dimostrato forti legami tra rapporti sociali e salute, evidenziando che il supporto sociale può attenuare le risposte fisiologiche allo stress – le quali sono rilevanti per la salute – e può essere un importante e positivo componente della capacità di resilienza personale, rappresentando altresì un elemento determinante per riuscire ad affrontare situazioni stressanti a medio e lungo termine, come il corso di una malattia. Il punto di riflessione a cui vogliamo approdare con questo scritto non riguarda l’analisi della nostra rete di sostegno e le sue caratteristiche, bensì la possibilità di elaborare un’auto-osservazione sistematica prima di avvicinarci a coloro da cui ci aspettiamo di essere sostenuti, confortati o incoraggiati.
