A friend that is having some hard time is coming to home to share her troubles. I am trying to practice mindful listening. Not judging. Not commenting until the advice is asked.
The temptation is big when we think we know the solution or when, indeed, it is known. Until then I have noticed that when we are, or somebody else is, under mental pain, to "throw out" that mental pain will lead, after a while, to a space of reflective analysis and contemplation of what has been thrown.
Also with the "thown pain" there are some glimpses or gaps of what was wholesome and unwholesome and from this the counseling from the Dhamma can be slowly given, trying not to change or shift the momentum toward whom is listening.
