Empathetic listening transcends words; it involves mirroring emotions, not just through verbal cues but also through the subtle art of silence. It's the silent spaces between words where often the most profound empathy is communicated. This quiet understanding can profoundly comfort and validate someone's feelings without a single word spoken. Consider how silence in your conversations might truly allow empathy to flourish, and feel free to share your own experiences with the power of empathetic listening.
