Bertagnolli and Bree break down the real essence of active listening. It's not just about hearing words; it's about truly engaging with the person in front of you.
Shayden, a seasoned therapist, reveals that many people misunderstand active listening, thinking it's merely about waiting for their turn to speak or offering quick fixes. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of creating a safe, judgment-free space where genuine communication can flourish.
