This worksheet is designed to help people in a relationship learn and practice better listening skills. It describes the skills used in active listening (paying attention, observing, acknowledging, reflecting, etc.) and the listening problems that many couples repeatedly experience when they try to communicate (daydreaming, bickering, insisting on being right, and so on). It asks people to individually think back on a previous conversation and consider the skills they used as well as the communication problems they noticed. The exercise is used as a follow-up to teaching couples new communication skills. (0525, communication, marriage therapy, family therapy)
