Listening skills

Being listened toIt is important for people to have the opportunity to explore difficult feelings. Being listened to in confidence, and accepted without prejudice, can alleviate general distress, despair and suicidal feelings.

Often being listened to is enough to help someone through a time of distress. Even just showing that you are there for them, and that you know they are going through a distressing time, can in itself be a comfort.

Are you a good listener?
Do you:


Always try to give people your undivided attention?

Let them sit in silence and collect their thoughts if they need to?

Question them gently, tactfully and without intruding?

Encourage them to tell their story in their own words and in their own time?

Refrain from offering advice based on your own experience?

Always try and see their point of view even though you may not agree with it?
... these can help show someone that you are really listening to them

or do you:
Look around the room or glance at your watch while they are talking?

Finish their sentences for them and correct their grammar?

Interrupt to tell them how you once had a similar problem?

Make a snap judgement based on their accent, dress or personal appearance?

Tell them what you would do in their position?

Say you understand before you've heard what their problem is?
... but these can give the impression that you are not listening

How to be a good listener?0

[أم بدر الدين]

What do I really need to be a good listener?

I need two main skills:

- To be an active listener.
- To learn how to communicate with people.

Ok, as a first step to be an active listener, I will start with the listening process how is it really works?

Let’s make it simple the person who is listening called the receiver and the one who is talking called the sender.

So the listening process happen through (Four Steps)

A. Hearing is the first step. At this stage, you simply pay attention to make sure you hear the message.

B. Interpretation. If you fail to interpret a speaker’s word correctly it may lead to a misunderstanding.

C. Evaluation. Decide what to do with the information you have received.

D. Respond. This is a verbal or visual response that lets the speaker know whether you have got the message and what your reaction is.

What can we take from being a good listener?0

[أم بدر الدين]

Look a good listening and a deep analysis to what we take from the others give you the opportunity to understand how the others see things besides you learn much more by taking all what is good from people experience
What is good in all that is that you have only to be patient and a school is totally free to give you things that you have never heared nor seen
