What is Listening?
The gift of another person's full, undivided attention. Feeling truly listened to — without interruption, judgment, or agenda — is one of the most healing experiences a human can receive.
When you might feel listening
Listening is a specific form of being heard, which itself is a type of connection. You might experience this feeling in situations where connection is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define listening.
