The phrase, Flashing Your Brights refers to acting on someone else s problems without taking responsibility for them.
Drivers often flash their brights at oncoming motorists whose headlights are switched off.
The one flashing is caring without being co-dependent. Flashing Your Brights is a set of three understanding and five communication based tools on that analogy. One person cannot change another. However, one person can influence another. We may believe we have no influence because our words do not bring immediate, visible results.
