It's no fun being told what to do..
Especially when you didn't ask for guidance.
When someone steps into my clinic, it is a sign they are open to suggestions for their good health.

How to foster curiosity in the other? To help them see the effects of their actions. In a kind way.
Clarity about what support looks like for you will help your interpersonal relationships.
Do you want someone who sees you and can sit with you where you are?
Or someone who feels they must fix you?
