Most of my personal adult life has been spent alone. Granted, I have spent a lot of time on stage as a competitive bodybuilder, working on boards with non-profits and public speaking but for the most part it has been just me Alexa and Siri.
When you listen to understand, you let the speaker finish and get their thought out. You are not just hearing the words. In face-to-face conversation, you are also observing the nonverbal such as tone, facial expression, and body language.
Have you ever felt anxious and like you were in “hot water” because of financial troubles, family problems, depression, unresolved trauma, employment, or health concerns? If so, you are not alone.
