DYADIC

It’s a hard thing to do, isn’t it, to really listen to someone? Give them your complete and undivided attention; have your focus completely on them and what they are saying; not thinking about what you are going to say yourself, or how what they are telling you reminds you of your own experiences. Just listen to them.

This project is a study of listening as practiced by some of the 17,000 listening volunteers at the Samaritans helpline.
