Active Listening

When I was 14 or 15 I heard about active listening. I was engaged by the idea and I have tried to implement the practice ever since. 

But I don't do it very well, especially in high tension conversations. Something to keep working on. 

My brother reminded me of the principle and shared this link to an article on some good phrases or behaviors to use that might help me in my active listening. 

Do you have any tips or resources? I'd love to hear them. Let me know below or send me a message.
