listen deeply with full attention, you might take notes; no conversation with the speaker, save that for your turn as speaker. Remind the speaker to pause if you lose track, or clarify; no evaluation, no praise or discouragement, or advice. No counseling or being sympathetic. Just a reflection so the speaker can hear what they are saying out loud.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n  \r\n\r\nThe Silent listeners should not create distracting side conversations. The Silent listeners simply listen and honor the speaker with quiet, full attention.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n \r\n\r\nThe speaker doesn't talk to judge, criticize, influence, embarrass, or make assumptions about another person in the circle. The speaker treats everyone with equal respect. The speaker does not create a fight in the group, nor dominate nor bully others. The goal is for the speaker to hear what they are saying summarized by the active listener, and learn more about themself.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n \r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n \r\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\r\n<strong>...::\"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. <br>\r\n~Carl Rogers<\/strong>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n \r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<br>\r\n  \r\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\r\n<strong>Marshall Rosenberg said the main criteria of empathy are:<\/strong>\r\n<br>\r\n  \r\n\r\n1.
