Thank you for sharing this experience, Josh. It has been my experience as well that active listening has been a way to heal myself.

Thank you, Olivier! I'm so glad that this beautiful practice has catalyzed your healing. I have no doubt that your healing has helped heal others, too.

Hi, my name is Robert. I was 1st exposed to Active Listening in the early '80s when my (Awesome) supervisor on my new job (working with seriously mentally ill adults) required me to read selections from a book called Parent Effectiveness Training before engaging w/ any of our clients. I have continued to use what I learned there, and agree w/ all you have said about its potency, mutuality, and relevance. I am presently engaged in training to be a certified NeuroDynamicBreathwork facilitator, and would like to find out more about being a Fireside volunteer.
