Listening is a prerequisite for empathy. The skill of listening to the emotions, thoughts, and experiences of others can help people better understand their own and others' inner world, and establish healthier interpersonal relationships. Learning to listen can bring the distance between hearts closer. In order to help students understand the importance of listening and learn listening skills, our hospital held the 2023 Psychological Series Salon - Listening and Empathy Chapter in the counseling room of the Psychological Center on the evening of December 13th. This event was organized and carried out by the "Hand in Hand" Psychological Mutual Aid Association of the college, with Jiang Yanzhou, the trainer of the association, serving as the keynote speaker.
Firstly, the speaker uses the pressure faced by exams as a starting point to guide everyone's thinking. Taking into account the upcoming exam month, the speaker guides students to think about what kind of pressure they will face during the preparation process. As a "listener", how can we cope with it? Everyone's perception and understanding are different. When playing the role of a listener empathetic, even if you cannot fully feel it, you should try your best to understand the other person and give sincere advice. Through this psychological salon, students have gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between listening and empathy, as well as learned and mastered some listening skills. They have also gained a deeper understanding of the importance of listening in communication and fully realized the importance of listening empathy in establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships. It can promote communication and understanding, reduce conflicts and misunderstandings. Meanwhile, listening to empathy can also help people better understand their inner world, improve self-awareness, and help themselves discover and solve problems.
A sunny and healthy mindset is an important cornerstone for the growth and success of young people. This psychological salon focuses on communication bridges between people, advocating for the new generation of college students to pay attention to their physical and mental health, cultivate good listening and empathy skills, shape healthy interpersonal relationships and a positive attitude, and achieve a beautiful college life.
