“When we really meet and engage, we create a new world together. Practicing relational presence and awareness, tuning in to the other, and feeling the other as we talk is actually a tremendously beautiful exercise. It’s not always easy, because in the process we also encounter our own inner wounds, our blind spots, and our patterns of reactivity. But it is an expanding practice that deepens something very fundamental in life: human relationships.

“When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on. It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens, how confusions that seem irremediable turn into relatively clear flowing streams when one is heard. I have deeply appreciated the times that I have experienced this sensitive, empathic, concentrated listening.
