Hi... 'active listening' whenever possible is wonderful. My questions (to all who would like to respond, please) are: 1. do you have a confidant? (with whom you share inner you and risk being known by another human being) 2. (if so) how did you choose/find/receive such a one? 3. how has having a confidant helped heal/enrich your life? I'll appreciate replies. They will help with research being done by Freed Associates. It's been very interesting so far. Thanks in advance..... Jim Davis
