Are You Listening, or Just Waiting to Talk?

One complaint we often hear in relationships: "I don't feel heard."

During the holidays, stress makes us bad listeners. We are so busy defending our point of view or checking our to-do list that we miss the heart of what our person is saying.

Try the "Mirror" technique: When your spouse/child tells you something, repeat it back: "So what I hear you saying is..." It sounds simple, but it changes everything. It lowers defenses and builds safety.
