Desire vs. Willingness and the Love Languages

[Heywyre]

I agree, Cobra, that mirroring only has its place if once each other are heard, actions are put into place to correct what needs correcting.

I particularly found the mirroring beneficial, but only to slow down the mental processing I was doing as H was speaking. It allowed us both not to think what we were going to respond with, which was causing us not to listen to what the other person was actually saying, and just listen, listen, listen. Sometimes that is all it takes to have that "aha" moment and get "unstuck"

It is also an exercise that needs to be weaned off of eventually, and put into play on a regular basis without facing each other and repeating everything they say. It is simply allowing each other to slow down, and absorb what their partner is saying
