Which do you prefer to do - talk or listen ? I’m sure we all know some people who have a strong preference towards talking. Have you ever been in a conversation where you are saying something and the other person can’t wait to reply ? As soon as you make the slightest pause they jump in and start talking. I know I have had that experience and I don’t feel very good about those conversations. I don’t feel as if I have been heard and it hasn’t been as much a conversation as 2 monologues which overlapped !

What about you ? Do you listen, or do you just wait to talk ? What is happening in you mind and your body when the other person is talking ?

Listening, really listening, to another person can be a very healing process for the speaker.
