I used many of these questions when I worked with my students. Students, or anyone, must feel comfortable in order to disclose. Active listening is the best thing, when helping someone reveal what they want us to know. That demonstrates to the person that you are sincere, and interested in their well being. Proverbs 18:13 says “When anyone replies to a matter before he hears the facts, it is foolish and humiliating.” And will not be meeting the person where they are. We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.-Carl Rogers.
