It is a remarkable experience to have someone really listen -- to have someones undivided attention and interest. When someone listens, they communicate to us on a very deep level that we are valuable. Their listening breaks our isolation and aloneness. And it decreases the fears which come when our thoughts and feelings are confused. Talking out loud in the presence of a person who listens carefully allows us to gain clarity and perspective. Gradually, being listened to can begin to convince us that we are worth someones attention and worth being loved. When someone listens with respect and acceptance we are comforted and consoled. Our pain is soothed. Our burden is lightened. (Dale & Juanita Ryan)
