Use reflective listening to understand others' feelings from "summary" of I Hear You by Nidhi Upadhyay
Reflective listening is a powerful tool that can help you truly understand how someone else is feeling. It involves not just hearing what the other person is saying, but also taking the time to really listen and empathize with their emotions. When you practice reflective listening, you are not just waiting for your turn to speak - you are actively engaging with the other person's emotional experience. To use reflective listening effectively, you need to pay close attention to both the words the other person is saying and the emotions they are expressing. This means tuning in to their tone of voice, body language, and facial expressions, as well as the actual content of their words. By doing so, you can gain a deeper understanding of what the other person is feeling and why they are feeling that way. Reflective listening also involves reflecting back what you have heard in a way that shows the other person that you understand and empathize with their feelings. This can be as simple as paraphrasing what the other person has said or asking clarifying questions to ensure that you have understood them correctly. By doing so, you are validating the other person's emotions and letting them know that you are truly listening and trying to understand where they are coming from. By using reflective listening to understand others' feelings, you can build stronger connections with the people in your life. When someone feels truly heard and understood, it can help them feel validated and supported, which can strengthen your relationship with them. So the next time you find yourself in a conversation where someone is expressing their emotions, try practicing reflective listening to show them that you care and that you are there for them.
