"Listening with empathy means that you listen in such a way that the other
person feels you are really listening, really understanding, hearing with your whole being - with your heart (...) Deep listening, compassionate listening is not listening with the purpose of
analyzing or even uncovering what has happened in the past. You listen first of all in order to give the other person relief, a chance to speak out, to feel that someone finally understands him
or her (...) During this time you have in mind only one idea, one desire: to listen in order to give the other person the chance to speak out and suffer less."
Thich Nhat Hanh, Anger (Chapter 5, Compassionate
communication)
