Assignment: Empathetic Listening Scenario

Think back over conversations you have had with friends, family members, co-workers, or classmates.

Select a conversation in which the other person wanted to talk about something that was troubling him or her. As you replay this conversation in your mind, think about how well you did in terms of empathic listening. ( A friend of mine wants to break up with her boyfriend who keeps cheating, but still continues to give him a chance knowing he wont change.)

Develop a 1,050-word analysis including: NO PLAGIARISM! INTRODUCTION & CONCLUSION REQUIRED!

· Explain whether you found yourself being critical when the person really just needed someone to listen.

· Identify whether you let the person know, by your words or actions, you cared about his or her dilemma, even if you were not able to help in any other way.

· Describe your listening performance.

Note: Be sure not to disclose any private information; you can change the names of the people involved or the circumstances as needed to maintain privacy.

Format the assignment consistent with APA guidelines.
