Human Literacy = Listening To Oneself And Listening To Another<\/h2>\n

When an individual is using the Intuitive Focusing Skill to problem solve at The Creative Edge, Focused Listening by another person can help carry the whole process of articulation forward. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on Carl Rogers’<\/a> Reflective or Empathic Listening, Focused Listening, the second Core Skill of Creative Edge Focusing \u2122, is the most simple yet most powerful communication skill you will ever learn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When people are trying to communicate, struggling with\u00a0 overwhelming emotion, or trying to solve\u00a0 problems, nothing is more helpful than hearing their own words back.<\/strong> Then, they can use Intuitive Focusing to check inside and ask themselves, \u201cIs that what I am trying to say?\u201d, \u201cIs that really what I am feeling?\u201d \u201cIs that the right image for this creative problem I am solving?\u201d<\/p>\n

The understanding of Gendlin\u2019s Intuitive Focusing<\/a> has greatly enriched Empathic Listening, so that it is no mere \u201cparroting\u201d of what the other has said.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Reflection includes more than the person\u2019s words. It can also include reflection of aspects of The Creative Edge which the person hasn\u2019t yet been able to put completely into words. The person may be communicating these felt edges through gestures or emotional tone. Also, as the person speaks, metaphors or images may arise in the Focused Listener which seem to capture or point to the Creative Edge.<\/p>\n

The Focused Listener can also offer Focusing Invitations which can deepen the Focuser\u2019s ability to contact the Creative Edge. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Focused Listening means not trying to solve the problem for the other person but trusting that the solution is already implicit in the person\u2019s own Creative Edge. <\/strong>No outside solution could be as relevant or as likely to be able to be carried out in action than that arising from The Creative Edge.<\/p>\n

The Focused Listening Skill involves learning to set aside all your usual reactions, your opinions, judgments, advice, suggestions and just say back, or \u201creflect,\u201d what the other person is trying to say.<\/strong> \u00a0The Listener can also help by giving Focusing Invitations to the Focuser.<\/p>\n

Yes, everyone thinks they know how to do listen, but, really, when was the last time you really listened to another person, or that someone really listened to you? <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four Basic Kinds of Response<\/h2>\n

The Focused Listening skill as Dr. McGuire teaches it, which combines Gendlin\u2019s Focusing with Rogers\u2019 Reflective Listening, includes four different possible kinds of responses by the Listener: (read more and learn the actual skill involved in the responses at http:\/\/www.cefocusing.com\/coreconcepts\/1a2.php<\/a>\u00a0on Creative Edge Focusing’s Ultimate Self Help website.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
