Listen and Learn.

The best shrinks, much to the chagrin of their patients, are the ones who do not advise but listen. They are those who provide, I think, a forum for consciousnesses connecting; they are not there to tell a person how to live their life, but to give the individual verification. "You think therefore you are"

So, too, I think, is the role of the philosopher. Open any critical theory book--the point of research is not to assert but to suggest; not to demand but to postulate.

What's different about philosophers and psychologists is that the former are prone to rant, to insist and assert without listening.
