Reflective listening involves mirroring feelings from "summary" of Escuta Ativa by Lilly De Sisto
Reflective listening is a powerful communication skill that involves more than just hearing the words spoken by the other person. It goes beyond simple listening; it requires a deep level of emotional understanding and empathy. When we practice reflective listening, we are not only paying attention to what the other person is saying, but also to how they are feeling. By mirroring their feelings, we show them that we are truly present and engaged in the conversation. Mirroring feelings means that we are able to accurately identify and reflect back the emotions that the other person is experiencing. This requires us to be attuned to not just the words they are using, but also their tone of voice, body language, and facial expressions. By mirroring their feelings, we validate their emotions and let them know that we are listening with compassion and understanding. When we mirror someone's feelings, we are not necessarily agreeing with them or trying to solve their problems. Instead, we are creating a safe space for them to express themselves and feel heard. This can help to strengthen the relationship and build trust between both parties. Reflective listening can also help to improve communication and resolve conflicts more effectively. To practice reflective listening effectively, it is important to remain fully present in the moment and avoid distractions. This means putting aside our own thoughts and judgments, and focusing entirely on the other person. It also requires us to be patient and allow the other person to express themselves fully before responding.- Reflective listening involves more than just hearing words; it requires us to mirror the feelings of the other person. By doing so, we can show empathy, build trust, and improve communication in our relationships.
