The point in both cases is to allow someone to hear themselves at a deeper level than they are currently operating at. And so instead of, for let's say, 50 years, of all that just noise inside and confusion, for once, uthey're actually getting beyond the surface and starting to examine it all. How can you capture that for someone who hasn't yet experienced it? It's a non trivial problem.
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 continue the conversation I started in Episode 17 with one of my heroes, Parker J. Palmer. He's sharing 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.
