Empathetic Listening Essay

I used empathetic listening when my friend was telling me about their recent breakup. While they were talking, I used empathetic listening to really understand what they were saying. I also made sure that they had my full attention. When they asked me for my opinion on the whole situation, my goal was as to make sure to not attack them and I tried to make them feel comfortable. I used constructive criticism to make sure they understood that the breakup was partially, but not all, of their fault. This conversation ended up going really well and it was actually quite
informative.
