“When.... someone really hears you without passing judgment on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mold you, it feels damn good! ... When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to reperceive my world in a new way and to go on.“ -Carl Rogers

This book is great and probably one I need to own. But I’m reading this section about not placing our feelings on others. I’m thinking of this time I was stood up on a date and was reasonably hurt, but communicated that poorly to the other person. We can only continue to do better and I often hope that I am continuing to do better.

“We as humans are meant to relate to one another.”
