Something to Think About

This past week I was in a group meeting. Each member of the group was shared personal stories. A member told story where he was caught in a major explosions and it left him suffering from  PTSD. His description of what he experienced touched everyone who was listening to his story. Two members of the group  interrupted him toward the end of his story. They asked questions and offered suggestions on what he could do. He stopped talking, folded his arms across his chest and nodded. They were trying to fix him and give him a solution. He wanted people to hear his story and understand his suffering. Sometimes it’s better to listen than to offer suggestions.
