"The most important thing is that we need to be understood. We need someone to be able to listen to us and to understand us. Then we will suffer less."

Previous Quote

The way of being with another person which is termed empathic...means temporarily living in their life, moving abut in it delicately without making judgment... to be with another in this way means that for the time being you lay aside the views and values you hold for yourself in order to enter the other's world without prejudice...a complex, demanding, strong yet subtle and gentle way of being.

— Carl Rogers
