RELATIONSHIPS: How to Be a Great Communicator with Your Partner (or anybody, really)
Short Answer: be a great listener.
In this episode, Clayton, a Gottman-trained couples therapist, walks us through how to level up your communication skills by becoming a better listener.
SHOW NOTES:
1) Goal of Empathetic Listening: To understand your partner (and show you understand)
2) Key Guidelines for Listening:
- Put your own agenda/perspective aside, so you can focus on understanding, not responding/reacting
- Don’t defend yourself, criticize or put down your partner, or minimize their feelings
- Listen for your partner’s feelings, not just the meaning of what they’re saying
- Avoid taking responsibility for their feelings
- Save any potential solutions or problem-solving for later, if they’re welcomed by your partner
3) Three tools for empathetic listening:
- Summarize: this communicates understanding, enables clarification, and “chunks” conversations
- Ask Open-Ended Questions: these questions invite fuller explanations and show that you’re interested
- Empathize/Validate Feelings: these show that you understand their feelings and can relate to them, which tends to validate and increase emotional connection
