A good listener makes you feel safe enough to expose your own depths of your experiences

True, I am learning life coaching because I FINALLY feel heard by the universe. I need to seek my own psychiatrists, tough to trust in e. World

I'm currently reading "War and Peace" by Tolstoy published around the 1860s about the goings on in the early 1800s. After each chapter I write quick, short remarks in the margins. Most fall within the idea of, dang, we're so similar, we humans as cultural beings, as social groups, we really haven't evolved all that much since then. A pessimistic mental image, I know. But the truth that I have faith in is that we really are essentially beautiful and we really do belong to each other. To organize ourselves not around nations but for the purpose of maximizing the best aspects of our humanity. Thanks, Tara.

I like how Kitty's father instructs her to repeat a tricky passage on piano 50 times.. I read this "50 times" is found by research to be an appropriate number to correct a mistake! Not sure if it was in W & P, one of the 19th c Russian novelists wrote into dialogue, something like: what is it with young people today? They don't (or won't) measure up. Sounds familiar.

[@bugsea54]

I felt the way Angie did. I came to the conclusion that no one understood me. Being g heard and understood was so important to me that it's been my mission to find my people. Meaning people that are like me, like the same things, think the same way, have experienced similar things. I have outgrown my friends and in search for those likeme.

[@basiagajewska4637]

Thank you Tara🙏 you're truly wonderful being, I love to listen to you, that is so precious, so much wisdom and beauty. I bless you with all my ♥

[@susanmccann4809]

Thank you for including the questions of some other listeners. Listening to their comments and your responses was very helpful to me.

[@teres1523]

Is definitely a deep, personal work. If you can't be intimate, present, conscious with your self you can NOT be that for anyone else.

[@jgarciajr82]

She is taking questions!!! Yes!!! ❤

[@louisesumrell6331]

Present. Eye contact. Interest.

[@brigittewhitlow7815]

We are constantly interrupted by commercials making it difficult to focus on anything

[@Nina-sp1js]

Emotionally available

[@janetfox-petersen2790]

The questioner needs to be listened to and heard as well by others. She may be in relationships where it is not a two way street. Is there a power imbalance? Concerned other questions needed to be asked as well. Being heard & expressing our feelings safely with others is necessary for our well-being, too. Balance!

[@janetfox-petersen2790]

Women generally are better listeners. Authentically Speaking up about our own feelings and needs is important to the journey too!!

I think I messed up a friendship

[@superlady2960]

[@ninacullum9281]

😂

[@shimadajapan]

You may be able to repair it, given what you know now. And if not, self-forgiveness is a real and healing practice. I’m sure that Tara has a talk on self-forgiveness :-)
