A Stand Alone Comment


9f4a748d.jpg

I am sure you can relate to my experiences of being drawn into dynamic posts and discussions. It is great to be able to share these posts but often just "liking" a comment doesn't feel enough. A few times in the past I shared comments off the post. 


Harvey Lloyd's comment, I knew it deserved to "stand alone".



"I have counselled-coached over many years. There have been some heartening successes and many failures. I have learned that the most effective that we can be is empathic, sensitive and genuinely receptive listeners. And out of this authentic human space and connection arises the appropriate response – most effectively, turning the light on the assets rather than on the liabilities, as you clearly described. But sometimes it doesn’t even need a response – the authentic listener is all that was required. Last week I counselled a young woman with the most tragic and horrendous life narrative that I have ever encountered. She hugged and thanked me after a gruelling two hours, just for listening to her. I told her that she was the hero – for surviving and transcending the evil around her. I spent the next hour alone and in awe of this inspiring and incredible human being who was in fact a teacher and not a client. This is my tribute to all humans who, against all odds, prevail and transcend. Thanks Ian Weinberg for sharing and reminding us of our humanness - Harvey Lloyd
