What an incredible and illuminating read.

I've taught active listening, especially in contexts of mental health, trauma, or suicide crisis intervention, off and on for years. I've read a lot about being a better listener, helping people feel heard, becoming comfortable with silence, etc... And I learned so much from this book. No matter where you are in your journey to be a better listener, this book will teach you and remind you of the importance of genuine human connection. I feel so inspired and can't wait to get my hands on a hard copy so that I can reference it as needed. Recommended to everyone who wants to be a better friend, partner, human, etc...
