People have different way of being a listener. Some people maybe the dodger type, the advice giver, the cliche kid, the talker, the rock, the critic, the analyst, the moralist, the bully, or anything. Regardless of what kind of listener we are, we need to show our empathy in order to reach the connection with people, especially our patients. Research on some patients on clinic showed that at the end of the hour, almost all of the patients thought they had received very good therapy or counselling from the doctor just because they are listened. It is not only about listening, but also showing the empathy. Empathy is a choice. It builds connection. Empathy means that we can feel how other people feel without judging, trying to change or solving, and belittling or criticising. Sometimes we don’t have to have all of the answers, just listening to the questions can even help. Empathy is a sacred space between people. It is not similar with the sympathy, which is just  about how we feel, not other people feel about things. The thing is, we don’t have to get involve to much. Put one of our feet in their world, and another feet in our own world, so we can feel other people’s  problems in an objective way. In short, empathy is about how we feel other people’s feeling which we can express by listening.
