By providing supportive care and listening to the patient.

Rationale: listening and offering supportive care validates the patient's feelings, promotes autonomy and self-worth, and gives positive feedback—activities that build esteem. Ignoring emotions, encouraging dependence, or suppressing anger undermines self-respect and emotional processing.
