Just listen

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 our　 21　 ，and especially if it’s given from the　 22　 ．When people are talking，there’s no need to do anything but　 23　 　them．Just take them　 24　 ．Listen to what they’re saying．Care about it．Most times caring about it is even more important than　 25　 it．

One of my patients told me that when she　 26　 to tell her story，people often　 27　 to tell her that they had once had something just like what happened to her．Subtly，her pain became a story about themselves．　 28　 she stopped talking to most people．It was just too　 29　 ．We connect through listening．When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand．we move the　 30　 of attention to ourselves．But when we listen，they know we care．

I have ever learned to　 31　 to someone crying by just listening．in the old days I used to reach for the tissues (纸巾)　 32　 I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them　 33　 ，to take them out of their 　34　 of sadness and pain Now I just listen．When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there　 35　 　them．

This　 36　 thing has not been that easy to learn．It certainly went against everything I had been 　37　 since I was very young at school．I thought people listened only because they were too　 38　 to speak or did not know the answer．A loving silence often has far more 　39　 　to connect than the most well-intentioned　 40 ．
