AGREEING

"Agreeing

Accepting his feelings and reflecting them does not mean you agree with them or endorse them. You are showing him you understand, nothing more, and nothing less. And if you’ve ever felt understood, you understand just how great a gift this is."

The importance of empathy by Melissa Corkhill

Reflective Listening, 1994 Neil Katz and Kevin McNulty
