Barbara Hummel, a couples and family counsellor and mediator from Cincinnati, Ohio, talks about how to stay present and listen from your heart. Paying attention to and getting curious about the differences between us can actual make us closer and more connected. She explores how to balance the need of the person who needs to process out loud in the moment with the need of the person who needs to step back and process internally.
"But we do have different perspectives and we do have different opinions. And sometimes I think a conversation is more about, well, I need you to accept that I'm right. And sometimes the conversation is successful when we acknowledge and respect and accept our differences. Now, we might make progress, but once our differences are a source of threat or annoyance, we're no longer making space for that connection."
Around the 23 minute mark she talks about the 6 hour rule!
