"When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an emphatic stance... provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another." -Carl Rogers
