Listening is not just hearing what someone says, it's also understanding and connecting with them on a deeper level.
Ever wondered why some conversations just seem to flow while others hit a brick wall? In this episode of 'We Heal Together', Cordelia dives into the intricacies of becoming a better listener. As part two of her series, she offers practical tips and techniques to help you connect more deeply with those around you and build healthier relationships.
Cordelia starts by highlighting the subtle yet crucial elements of good listening, pointing out common distractions and roadblocks that often derail our efforts. She doesn't just tell you what you're doing wrong but gives actionable advice on how to overcome these hurdles. For instance, she emphasizes the importance of respecting boundaries and not pressuring others to share more than they're comfortable with.
One memorable quote she shares is a great mental checklist before speaking: 'Is it true, is it kind, is it necessary, is it helpful?'. This episode isn't just about passive listening; it's about engaging thoughtfully and respectfully. Cordelia also tackles how to handle criticism and hostile questions with grace, offering techniques to stay calm and respond respectfully. She encourages listeners to reflect on their interactions and understand their role in keeping arguments alive.
By focusing on empathy and mindfulness, Cordelia helps you drop judgments and truly see things from another person's perspective. Whether you're looking to improve your communication skills or simply want to foster deeper connections, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Tune in to learn how to listen better and, in turn, create more meaningful relationships.
