What If Your Listening Style Is The Problem

We unpack the listening habits that quietly shape our relationships, from being fully present to shutting down as a coping mechanism. We name the styles that help people feel seen and the ones that turn a simple moment into an argument. 
• active listening as presence through focus, questions and reflection 
• passive listening as a drift that happens by season or with certain people 
• empathetic listening as a gift that still needs boundaries 
• expansive and solution driven listening that can overwhelm others 
• external processing versus internal processing in marriage communication 
• reductive listening as oversimplifying that makes people feel small 
• insecurity and upbringing as possible roots of defensive listening 
• teaching kids to use clear compliments instead of cutting remarks
