Listen "It's Not About the Socks. Metaphors and Communication: Tips to be a Better Listener"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textDo you ever catch yourself or your teen being sad or angry or upset about something that seems really silly on the surface? Of course - we all do it. But if you actively listen, is it maybe something else entirely, and that thing that they're seemingly upset about - well, it's just a metaphor for what they're actually feeling. Metaphors play a role in family communication, and if we can better understand the difference between listening and hearing in communication, we can start to use all of this to better communicate and understand each other because it’s usually not about the socks.Support the showThank you for listening and being part of this community!
