RULE 9
ASSUME THAT THE PERSON YOU ARE LISTENING TO MIGHT KNOW
SOMETHING YOU DON’T
NOT ADVICE
Psychotherapy is not advice. Advice is what you get when the person
you’re talking with
about something horrible and complicated wishes you would just shut up
and go away.
Advice is what you get when the person you are talking to wants to revel in
the
superiority of his or her own intelligence.
