Question

I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our1, and especially if it’s given from the2. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but3them. Just take them4. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than5it.
One of my patients told me that when she 6to tell her story, people often7to tell her that they had once had something just like that happen to her. Subtly her pain became a story about themselves. 8she stopped talking to most people. It was just too9. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the 10of attention to ourselves. But when we listen, they know we care.
I have ever learned to 11to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues(纸巾)12I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them13, to take them out of their14of sadness and pain. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there 15them.
This 16thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been17 since I was very young at school. I thought people listened only because they were too18to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more19 to connect than the most well-intentioned20 .
