Une vie sans conflits, cela n’existe pas. Ce qui est grave n’est pas d’en rencontrer mais de ne pas vouloir ou pouvoir les résoudre. Quelques pistes.

L’écoute

• Silence,
• Empathie = se mettre à la place de l’autre,
• Rechercher les sentiments de l’autre,
• Puis les lui refléter.

Les disciples d’Emmaus . Jésus s’informe de leur souci et les écoute avant de parler. Luc XXIV,13-25.

Hello Gael !

Hello Corinne !

• Are you OK ? Do you have a minute ? I’d like to talk to you about something important.
• Yes, come in and sit down. I’m listening.
• Well… I’m not great, I’ve just come out of hospital.
• What’s wrong, are you ill?
• Well, yes…You see, I had a routine mammography and…..
• And….
• The doctor found a lump and they did a biopsy.
• Are you worried about it?
• Very , because my mother had cancer and I won’t have the results for another week.
• In the meantime you have to wait and can’t help worrying.
• That’s exactly it. Can you understand why I don’t want to go to the village fête? I almost feel like crying.
• You don’t have to put on a brave face with me.
