In reference to "echoing, or empathetic listening"(from your last post on your old thread)
quote:Originally posted by ANS: I’ve heard of this technique, but the issue isn’t that she doesn’t think I’m listening. The issue seems to be that I always misinterpret what she says. So she’s given up trying to tell me things.
That's exactly why it can be an effective technique.
If you echo back to her what she said, then how can she say you misinterpreted it?
If she thinks you misinterpret what she says..then in effect she thinks your not listening.
