Speaker Listener Log
The Speaker Listener technique helps
you listen to each other rather than
interrupting, disagreeing, or thinking of
your response while the other person is
talking. Keep a log of your practices (5-15
minutes each).
Example: Sat. Oct. 2, 15 min. Used S/L
with my partner about time alone/time
together, which has been an issue for
us. It started kind of rough, but then we
listened to each other and cleared up
some misunderstandings.

Entry #3:
You can use it secretly:
“Hey, instead of us both talking over each other,
how about we take turns. You want to go first?…”
“Let me see if I heard you right…” “Is this what
you said…?” “My turn now."
