Hello everyone;
I practiced responsive listening with a family member who was telling me about how they were managing multiple projects at work. I made sure to show I was listening through things like eye contact and mirroring their body language. I also used phrases like “That sounds like a lot” to keep the conversation flowing. Afterward, we checked the listening checklist, and I felt good about how much I’d really focused on them. But the toughest part for me was not immediately jumping to solutions I really had to catch myself from offering advice too soon. I think when there’s a pause in the conversation, my instinct is to try and help fix the problem, but I realized that sometimes people just need someone to listen and acknowledge their struggles. It was definitely an eye opener to see how much value there is in just being present and validating their feelings without trying to fix everything. This really ties into the idea that responsive listening builds trust and rapport (Knackendoffel, Dettmer, & Thurston, 2018). I’ll definitely keep working on staying in the listening role and not rushing to fix things.
