Do you ever get tired of people who complain? The next time you feel trapped by someone who is unconsciously spewing a story of ‘what’s wrong’, try this technique: Imagine you’re just holding a vessel for them to dump their dissatisfaction into. Don’t engage by agreeing or talking them out of it. Just listen and allow them to vent. Your presence as a neutral witness will give them the attention they need and allow them to understand the futility of ranting. Watch calmly as they soften into deeper self-awareness…

And move through it.
