I strongly believe- and I don't know if it's brene brown that said this, but I strongly believe- that when a person feels heard is when healing starts to begin.
Ever feel like you're talking to a brick wall when communicating with loved ones? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', Peer Recovery specialist Laurie MacDougall teams up with Imago Relationship therapist Kayla Solomon and Allies in Recovery's chief editor, Isabel Cooney, to tackle the often frustrating world of communication. They dive into the concept of Reflective Listening—a technique that can change the way you interact with those closest to you.
What is Reflective Listening, you ask? It's more than just nodding along; it's about truly hearing and understanding the other person. Kayla Solomon is so passionate about it that she says she'd use it even in a life-threatening situation! The episode breaks down how to be a 'flat mirror', reflecting back what the other person is saying without adding your own spin.
Laurie, Kayla, and Isabel share practical tips and real-life examples to help you master this skill, making your conversations more meaningful and less combative. Whether you're dealing with the daily grind or a full-blown crisis, these techniques can help you build stronger, more empathetic relationships. Tune in and discover how a few simple changes in your listening habits can make a world of difference.
