👉3 Tools To Help Someone Feel Understood | #shorts

Here are three great tools for communicating well and helping the other person to feel understood and listened to:
#1. Mirroring. Repeated back what you hear them saying, sometimes in their words, sometimes in your own. This shows that you are truly listening and taking onboard what they have said.

2. Validation. Let that person know that it is ok to feel however they feel, whether you agree with it or not. Their experience is their experience. So even if it’s different to yours, it is valid and real.

3. Empathy. Different from sympathy. Most people don’t want you to feel sorry for them. They want you to try and be with them in that struggle do your best to appreciate what it must be like for them.
