The new priest is nervous about hearing confessions, so he asks an
older priest to sit in on his sessions. The new priest hears several
confessions, then the old priest asks him to step out of the
confessional for a few suggestions.
The old priest suggests, "Cross your arms over your chest and rub your chin with one hand."
The
new priest tries this. The old priest suggests, "Try saying things
like, 'I see, yes, go on, and I understand, how did you feel about
that?"
The new priest says those things, trying them out. The old
priest says, "Now, don't you think that's a little better than slapping
your knee and saying, 'No way! What happened next?'"
