EP 14 - Think You’re a Good Listener? Think Again!🧠✨ 3 Major Listening Blocks You Are Not Even Aware Of

Apr 03, 2025

Listening is often overlooked as a skill, but it’s actually your #1 human superpower. Here’s the truth: most of us think we’re great listeners because we stay quiet, nod, and respond when needed. But real listening goes much deeper than that. It’s about connecting with others on a heart-and-mind level, understanding emotions, and creating space for meaningful dialogue. 🌟

 

So, why aren’t we all amazing listeners? The answer lies in 3 mental blocks that hold us back:

  • Deletion: 🤐

Your brain filters out 80% of what you hear, focusing only on what it thinks is important.

  • Distortion: 😵‍💫

Feedback or emotions often feel like personal attacks because of your brain’s survival instincts.

  • Assumptions: 🫣

You see the world through your perspective, making it hard to fully understand others.

💡 The good news? These blocks are bustable!
