Echo
 

很多时候，在倾诉的过程中，我们需要的不是回应，而是倾听。仅仅是倾听。

如同婴儿在母亲子宫一样，人生最初九个月所听到的声音就是母亲的心跳声，这也是我们来到这世上时听到的第一个也是唯一的声音。在只有心跳声的空间里，我们更容易放下防备，更加安心地进行倾诉。这些心跳声不仅仅是倾听的信号，同样也是一种不带任何评价色彩的鼓励。它们是最低限度的反应，因为深思熟虑的词句会意味着评判，会等于表明了立场。在探索自我的过程中，仅仅是倾诉本身，就可以将我们与自我重新连接，让我们重新寻回自己的声音。

Many times, in the process of confiding, what we need is not the respond, but to listen. Just knowing there is someone listening.

Like a baby in mother's womb, the sound in the first nine months of life is the sound of the mother's heartbeat, which is the first and only sound we hear before we come into the world. In a space with only the sound of heartbeats, it is easier for us to let go of our defences and confide with the sense of safety. These heartbeats are not only a signal to listen, but also a kind of encouragement without any judgements. They are minimal responses, because any thoughtful words can bring opinions, and can amount to taking a stand.

In the process of self-discovery, just confiding itself can reconnect us with the real self and allow us to find back our voice.
