| Q |
What is listening therapy? |
| A |
Listening therapy is the process where we listen to you and help you make sense of what you are going through. |
|
| Q |
Who needs listening therapy? |
| A |
We all have a basic human need to be listened to and understood.
Some of us have friends and family who we rely on in times of uncertainty, loneliness and loss. For others, having friends and family is of no benefit, as the communication is of poor quality.
Ask yourself, how many times have you approached a friend to tell them about a specific problem, only to find your friends life suddenly becomes the main topic of conversation?
Also some people live in total isolation through no fault of their own. New Muslim converts can feel particularly lonely at times. |
