Reflection questions:

Think about a recent miscommunication in one of your relationships. How might asking a clarifying question have changed the outcome? What specific question could you have asked to better understand what the other person was really saying?
Consider your listening patterns: In which relationships or situations do you find yourself most likely to jump to conclusions without seeking clarification first? What might be driving this pattern—a desire to be helpful quickly, discomfort with uncertainty, or something else?
Reflect on how it feels when someone truly seeks to understand you before responding. Can you recall a time when someone asked you a clarifying question that made you feel deeply heard? How might you create that same experience for the important people in your life?
