长 知 识
Active listening is a technique that is used in counseling, training, and solving disputes or conflicts. It requires that the listener fully concentrate, understand, respond and then remember what is being said. This is opposed to reflective listening where the listener repeats back to the speaker what they have just heard to confirm understanding of both parties. Empathic listening is about giving people an outlet for their emotions before being able to be more open, which is sharing experiences and being able to accept new perspectives on the troubled topic that is the reason of emotional suffering. Listening skills may establish flow rather than closed-mindedness, negative emotions include stress, anger and frustration. 积极倾听是一种用于咨询、培训和解决争端或冲突的技巧。它要求倾听者精神集中、理解对方、积极回应，然后记住所说的话。这与反射式倾听相反，在反射式倾听中，听者重复刚刚听到的内容，以确认双方都完全理解所说的内容。移情式倾听是在能够更加敞开心扉之前，给对方一个释放情感的出口，这是分享经验，并且能够接受导致心灵痛苦的话题的新观点。倾听技巧可以建立流畅而不是封闭的，消极情绪包括压力、愤怒和沮丧。
积极聆听是一种沟通技巧，目的是为了清楚向对方反映自己对于他的遭遇产生同感，于晤谈期间可运用积极聆听的方式，更可借此一方面鼓励对方表达得更清晰，一方面使对方明白自己的感受。
积极聆听并不止于默默的听，反而应适时提出开放式问题(Open question)、 鼓励(Encourage)、译意(Paraphrase)、反映感受(Reflection of Feelings)及总结(Summary)：
juggling 杂耍
PET(Parent Effectiveness Training) 父母效能训练
active listening 积极倾听
role-play 分角色扮演练习
hypothetically 假设
mortality 死亡、生命的有限
Because I said so 因为我说了，所以......
