What do I mean by listen dispassionately? I mean: Listen because the answers are data. Listen to learn. Listen to broaden and deepen your awareness. Listen with a focus on the other person’s felt experience, not with a focus on your feelings in response.

When you ask these questions, the hardest thing is to listen deeply and dispassionately - it’s too easy to make this exercise about yourself too. Beating yourself up about how you hurt others. Validating yourself over how you helped. That’s not the point of the exercise. Listen with discipline.

Since we can only really change ourselves (and only slightly at best), the questions “How do I hurt you? How do I help you?” yields more productive group outcomes and positive change than focusing on how others have hurt you

Modern therapy and life advice is too isolationist. It’s focused on individual problem-solving, and not group problem-solving, but most of life’s problems and solutions arise from group dynamics

Therapy asks “what hurt me?” This is a good question to ponder, but incomplete in isolation. Also important is to ask the people you consider your family and friends: how have I hurt YOU? What have I done and what do I do that hurts YOU? What have I done and what do I do that helps you?

Of course Fox News puts a stupid title to the conversation as if trans sports is what’s top of mind for people right now. Fox News is so blatantly a propaganda engine
