ABSTRACT
Objectives:
The dark side of every relationship, including the therapeutic one, is „diverging in silence”. The silence must be listened to so that it leads to word. For that, the „listening from afar” is needed. „Listening from close up” is too short for the unheard-of that we live with to speak up in a meeting that heals. The article is a continuation of research undertaken in Part 1, titled “Could you repeat?". Just as there, here the method of research is phenomenology. The result of it is the thesis that only by “listening from afar"” can the psychotherapist cope with the task of “taking at least some of the inner sound” of the patient who speaks to them - also by being silent.

Methods:
phenomenology, Existenzanalyse, case study

Results:
The result of it is the thesis that only by “listening from afar"” can the psychotherapist cope with the task of “taking at least some of the inner sound” of the patient who speaks to them - also by being silent.

Conclusions:
In light of considerations undertaken in the article, psychotherapeutic activity, just like artistic, scientific or philosophical one, is a moral activity. The question whereupon to ground the psychotherapeutic practice so that it would not cause harm, assumes therefore the proportions of a major one.
