You listen deeply. When I asked you for help, it was clear that you were focused on me and nothing else for that conversation. You were quiet and let me tell you the situation without interruption. Then, you asked questions that helped me untangle the confusion. I have a strong memory of being deeply listened to and cared about. Not to mention, the questions helped me get to my solution. I know when I talk with you I will not be judged or found wanting. There is an acceptance there, an openness, that let me know I could say what I needed to say and trust you to accept me as I am. It’s a gift!
