Verywell / Julie Bang
Rather than simply prescribe medications to treat everyone, he worked on sharpening hislistening skills.
And he discovered that listening to peoples stories had a powerful impact on their ability to get better.
Hes convinced that all of us have the power to communicate in a way that changes lives.
It takes mental strength to just listen.
Its hard to sit with someone who is in pain.
It doesnt always feel good to listen without sharing your own story.
But becoming a better listener can help you grow stronger.
It can also help deepen your relationships.
