This could be considered the most challenging type of listening because the listener's role is often not to respond at all. The speaker who seeks sympathetic listening might have suffered a tragedy or needs someone to listen to a series of complex thoughts. The listener can help by validating what the speaker says and supporting her words. In this case, it's best for the listener to refrain from offering suggestions or clouding up the speaker's thoughts. ( Answered by Chowder)
