You gave great examples. Well done to you!! I have a few too- they are all really dependent on the scenario:
1) If you can relate to them "I really hear you when you say...."
2) Where does this thought, feeling come from?
3) It up to you how much you want to share. I will respect your boundaries.
4) I understand your really disappointed I'm ending this chat with you but unfortunately as listeners on 7cups we are not trained to help those experiencing suicidal thoughts. I wish you the best and hope you get the help you need.
5) I understand being your true authentic self can be difficult in an enviornent may feel you are judged. I'm here to listen and not judge. Please know there is no right or wrong in what you want to share. I here to listen to your interpretations.
6) Please know this is a site which discourages flirting or any sexual comments directed towards the listener. This behaviour invades boundaries. Hope you understand this.

Yes, these are particular good one. Of course it always depends on the situation, so using the right one is always going to be important.
