Psychotherapists Use Speaker Listener Technique to Help Couples Overcome Miscommunications

Psychotherapists sometimes use a technique called speaker listener technique to help couples overcome misunderstandings. It is a way of trying to both enforce the idea of needing to listen, but also to create the sense of being listened to. And I think it might also be a measure of how much we are willing to forgive candidates, even if they fail to deliver on promises that they have made to us. When we feel like the candidates understand us, that this leader truly gets us, this leader is perhaps even one of us, you're willing to forgive all kinds of things.
