SOLUTION

When I ask you to listen to me and you start giving me advice, you have not done what I asked.

Listen! All I ask is that you listen.

Don't talk or do - just hear me.

When you do something for me that I can and need to do for myself, you contribute to my fear and inadequacy.

So please listen, and just hear me.

And if you want to talk, wait a minute for your turn - and I will listen to you.
