# receptive listening
[[listening|Listening]] by taking in whatever is said with as much receptivity as possible without responding to affirm, rebut, or influence the speaker.
Mostly internal process, but has three outwardly visible signs:
1. Allowing brief, reflective silences
2. Responding to the speaker with honest, open questions to help the speaker hear more deeply whatever they are saying
3. Honoring truth-telling by speaking one's own truth openly with no intent of affirming or negating other speakers
