I'm studying to be a counselor and solid listening is half of the battle. Just feeling heard gives a lot of catharsis and if you can understand, analyze, and restate what they're telling you in a way that drives insight, folks can usually solve their own problems. Getting them back in the driver's seat is the goal in the first place, not fixing their problems for them. Helping them connect the dots goes a long way.
Wow I think you explained that really well and with really good insight
Thank you kindly!
