Sample 1st stanza: When I ask you to listen to me


And you start giving advice
You have not done what I asked.

Explain here the importance of the underlined word in Psychiatric setting.

2nd stanza When I ask you to listen to me


And you began to tell me why i shouldn’t feel that way
You are trampling on my feeling.

Explanation:

When I ask you to listen to me


And you feel you have to do something to solve my problem
You have failed me, strange as that may seem.

Listen!
All I ask, was that you Listen, not talk or do-just hear me.
I can do for myself, I’m not helpless
Maybe discouraged and faltering, but not helpless.

When you do something for me


That I can and need to do for myself
You contributed to my fear and weakness.

But, when you accept a simple fact that I feel what I feel,
No matter how irrational, then I can quit trying to convince you.

And I can get about the business of understanding what’s


behind the irrational feeling.

And when that’s clear, the answers are obvious and I don’t need advice.
So, please listen and just hear me.
And if you want to talk, wait a minute for your turn and I’ll listen to you.
