1️⃣👂How To Listen
Reflecting What Someone Means (not just what they say)
This is where Synchrony becomes transformative. When you’re able to step into someone’s world and understand them so deeply that you’re able to expand their understanding of themselves, you’ll be giving someone a gift. When you learn to do this well, people will respond to your reflection and say things like:
That’s exactly what I feel. I’ve never been able to put word to that.
Expansive Reflection
When we use LSS, we can shine our own light of understanding on other sections of their map they might not have explored before.
Part of this practice is about dropping ourselves mentally into their world and exploring it through phrases like:
If you feel this, you might be feeling ____.
That might mean that ____.
When I’m in a similar place, I usually ____.
We’ll learn in future lessons that expanding our emotional vocabulary and using metaphors can add other lights to our tool belt.
