Listen
Uit: ‘Loving Each Other’ – Leo Buscaglia
When I ask you to listen to me
and you start giving advice,
you have not done what I asked.
When I ask you to listen to me
and you begin to tell me
why I shouldn’t feel that way,
you are trampling on my feelings.
When I ask you listen to me
and you feel you have to do something
to solve my problems,
you have failed me,
strange as that may seem.
Perhaps that’s why prayer works for some people.
Because god is mute and he doesn’t offer advice or try to fix things,
he just listens and trusts you to work it out for yourself.
So please, just listen and hear me.
And if you want to talk,
Wait a few minutes for your turn
and I promise I’ll listen to you.

Ik heb al eerder vanuit mijn rol als communicatie-adviseur (communicatie gaat immers voor 80 procent over luisteren) een artikel geschreven over Deep Listening en daarbij zorgprofessionals geïnterviewd Deep Listening training hebben gevolgd. Je kunt dat artikel hier lezen.
