We don’t listen very well. We may pretend to, feigning interest and being polite, but usually it’s just that till we can put our two cents in. Ego wants to be heard, but it doesn’t like to listen. So it has learned the game and hopefully you feel like someone is listening to your life story, but are you?
As we verbalize our inner reality to our outer world perhaps we should listen to ourselves. What does what you just said mean to you? Why are you disappointed when someone else doesn’t understand what you are saying? Why don’t you understand what you are saying?
The art of listening begins with you, listen to yourself with a kind and non-judgmental ear and see what you are really telling yourself about your life and the way you feel.
Sounds like a potentially fruitful dialogue with your therapist.
