What we are reading this week?

This week, we explore "How to Listen to Someone Without Judgment" by Mariana Plata (on Psychology Today). The article highlights the importance of genuine support during challenging times. It suggests that, in these contexts, we listen to the other without offering advice. It suggests instead using empathetic responses like "I'm so sorry you're going through this," and asking how you can best support them. Other suggestions include regularly reminding the person of their importance with simple gestures, and avoiding adding shame or judgement to their experience.

These strategies foster a supportive and understanding environment, crucial in both personal and professional settings.??

I Am Here places importance on Listening, as one of its CLEAR skills. Find out more here.?

Show you care. Ask the question. Call for help.?
