This simple listening skill is in fact deeply powerful and healing.

And when we become skilled with it, we can easily weave it into our conversations - wonderful for creating a sense of safety, rapport and understanding.

Reflective Listening - a quiet superstar:

Validating - having someone be seen, heard, met and validated, creating a more robust sense of self.

Increasing safety – building gentle rapport, leading to comfort and intimacy.

Nervous system regulation – when there is dysregulation (and great for children).

Slowing things down – seeing more of where we are. ❤️
