Honoring emotions strengthens connections from "summary" of I Hear You by Michael S. Sorensen
When we take the time to acknowledge and validate someone's emotions, we are showing them that we care about their experience and that we value their feelings. By honoring the emotions of others, we are demonstrating empathy and understanding, which can help to strengthen our connections with them. When we dismiss or ignore someone's emotions, we are sending the message that their feelings are unimportant or invalid. This can create distance in our relationships and erode trust between us and the other person. On the other hand, when we take the time to listen to and validate someone's emotions, we are building a foundation of trust and respect that can lead to deeper connections.
People want to feel understood and accepted, especially when they are experiencing strong emotions. By honoring their feelings, we are creating a safe space for them to express themselves and feel heard. This can help to foster a sense of closeness and connection that is essential for healthy relationships.
