We all know how to listen, or at least...we think we do. Listening is more than just hearing. It's more than just looking at someone. It's made up of several elements and takes a lot of work and energy. Do you have what it takes to be an active listener? Test it out by *actively listening* to the latest episode of Comm Therapy! (Like what I did there? Cleaver...I know.)

Words mean what we want them to mean. When you call someone "hot" are you really referring to the literal definition of the word hot? Do you really mean that s/he is running a fever, that his or her skin is hot to the touch? Probably not...you probably mean s/he is attractive, sexy, and good-looking. What about swear words? Do we give those words their meaning? Are they "bad" because we make them bad...or are they just naturally bad? Listen, and tell us what YOU think!

We all deal with conflict in our own way. Passive-aggressiveness is one behavior that often creeps up in a moment of conflict.

Eyes say it all. The roll of the eyes, a gaze, a quick glance down...we speak with our eyes. We all do it...so why not listen to us talk about it?!
