Great article about how to speak to people in crisis (it cites #BPD, but its scope is actually much broader) and diffuse emotion.
Bottom line: validation. Have a read!

Really helped me understand a bit more about why some conversations get me so riled up, and vice versa. I’ll be looking to employ these strategies myself too. I’m usually in such a hurry to prove people wrong...
I never understood why I’d get so snappy if I felt that someone had misunderstood me. Just makes me see red. Now that I know why, I can help break down my own reaction and also use this article to help those supporting me to do so without getting their heads bitten off
