Dude. I think you did it the best way possible. I have found in my sitch, I actively listen, make eye contact, validations, and more listening.

It also happens to be a 180 in my R. The old me was not good at REALLY listening to my W. Sometimes now, she even tells me that I do not need to keep validating her thoughts. I find that kind of funny, but I want to keep reminding her that I am here to actively listen to her.

I think, overall, you are doing what you can. Just listen to her.
