by · COLlive

In the latest episode of The Rabbi and the Therapist, Rabbi Shea Hecht and Dr. Bruce Rubenstein dive deep into the often overlooked skill of listening. The conversation touches on how we are taught to communicate through speaking, reading, and writing, but rarely about the power of truly listening. Dr. Rubenstein explains that listening is an art — one that goes beyond hearing words and involves understanding the speaker’s feelings and intentions.

They explore how active listening can transform relationships, from marriage and family dynamics to the classroom.

The episode also highlights how a lack of being heard can drive individuals, especially children, to act out or even spiral into emotional distress. Rabbi Hecht and Dr. Rubenstein emphasize the importance of giving the gift of full attention, not just in communication, but as a form of love and empathy. This insightful discussion provides valuable lessons for anyone looking to improve their relationships and emotional well-being.

Don’t miss this thought-provoking episode on Wednesday, November 27th at 8:00 PM — a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is listen.
