Module 3 Practical Strategies for Active Listening Practical
In Module 3, Mirroring and Paraphrasing: Mirroring involves echoing the speaker's words precisely, fostering a sense of connection. It demonstrates attentive listening and encourages the speaker to share more. Paraphrasing, on the other hand, entails rephrasing the speaker's message in your own words, confirming understanding. Both techniques enhance communication by ensuring the speaker feels heard and valued. Practice these strategies to refine your active listening skills and build meaningful connections.

Mario Linguari
Cognitive Behaviour Therapist / Writer & Relationship Communication Specialist
Hi, I’m Mario.
I will guide you to listen deeply, speak clearly, and feel truly heard — even in conflict.
My work offers:
• Structured practice — so skills build gradually, not all at once,
• Evidence-based tools — grounded in clinical experience, not theory,
• Steady accompaniment — because change happens in safety, not pressure.
Together, we’ll reduce tension, build connection, and help you stay grounded —
with purpose, and with care.
