Empathic listening.

Explanation:

Empathic listening focuses on the actual understanding of the speaker's thoughts. This listening process goes beyond the active listening and moves towards empathy that implies the listener imagining himself in the speaker's position which consequently gives a clear idea of his/her thoughts to the listener. As we know 'empathy' relates to the identification and understanding of the thoughts and perceptions of the others and "empathic listening' affiliates to the speaker when he/she requires a solution to the problem without discussing it actively. Thus, "empathic listening" is the listening technique that involves the listener's "empathy" to understand the speaker's state of mind and thoughts.
