i've been thinking about this over, what is ly now, maybe 25 years, my observation is that this need to be deeply heard, deeply seen. It's like i now think, it is not rarely met, it is almost literally never met. So much in that story, i want to first go back to something that you said early on. You said, it's rare that it's ever experienced. And i could sense, even in that small phrase, your life of experience with this. But i wonder if you could speak to that. Which is it? Is it? Is there such a thing as 'never?'
Have you ever had someone come to you with a dilemma, but when you start to share your advice, they resist your every suggestion? The relationship gets more strained. You leave feeling frustrated, but when you open up you immediately get advice and feel more alone and more confused than you were before. For this episode, I have invited one of my heroes, Parker J. Palmer, to share a story or two, some of the things he has learned over decades and some actionable advice. By the end of this episode, you will be better able to help people unravel their confusion and find the right way forward.
