They must feel that when they tell you something, it will be received by you in the proper spirit. • Learn to listen beyond the words, with your heart as well as your ears. • Observe the signs of the inner feelings such as voice quality, facial expressions, body posture and motions, etc. These actions are revealing, and sometimes may have an opposite meaning from the spoken word. • A friend put it this way: "You listened as if you wanted to hear what I was going to say, as if it was really important to you. And that makes me feel good!"
