Give your undivided attention.
Don’t judge, but in or compare with your own experiences.

Give space for the speaker to respond to their own questions and thoughts.
Ask questions that clarify, or re-phrase what you’ve heard to show that you understand.
What types of questions and comments might work when you listen with empathy?
