We all know
how beneficial a listening ear can be for our wellbeing. I choose to share with my
Inner Divine Spirit, as do many others, which some call their Inner Christ (KJV of The New
Testament of The Holy Bible, Colossians 1:27, “To whom God would make known
what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is
Christ in you, the hope of glory.”)
However, some
people choose to vent to other people.
When a talker is speaking negatively about the same subject (a person, a
job, or whatever) to a listener over and over again, time and time again,
consider that the listener is no longer providing a listening ear but has
become an enabler. As www.wikipedia.com
explains, “Enabling is a term with a double meaning in psychotherapy and mental
health.” In the negative sense of the
word, which is how I’m using it here, enabling can describe “dysfunctional
behavior approaches that are intended to help resolve a specific problem but in
fact may perpetuate or exacerbate the problem.”
In addition,
if the listener’s flow of life source energy is sufficiently blocked, the
listener is not being adequately replenished and feels drained during or after
the mostly one-way conversation. That is
because the talker is feeding off the energy of the listener. The talker feels much better after the “conversation”
because of taking energy from the listener.
Some talkers
are open to simple questions and suggestions.
One can be, “What do you appreciate about [person subject of talker]?” Another can be, “What about your job brings
you joy?” And so on. Others are taken aback and don’t want any
input at all and keep on rambling. When a
person continues to provide a listening ear while a talker chatters about the
same issue time and time again, over and over again, that listener isn’t
helping. To do so is enabling
(perpetuating or exacerbating the problem). The question a person who listens
often might ask self is, “Do I choose to enable or empower [name of talker]?”
