Empathetic Listening
From “Stronger Together: Finding True Diversity through Empathetic Listening” by David Martyn Conley in ACA’s Camping Magazine November 2018.
“There are four stages of empathetic listening:
- Mimic the content. A person makes a statement to you, saying, “I don’t like hotdogs.” You would repeat the words back to them by saying, “What I’m hearing you say is you don’t like hotdogs.” This lets them know you heard their words, but also gives you the opportunity to let the words resonate with you.
- Rephrase the content. The person has stated that they do not like hotdogs. You have repeated those words back to them. You then say, “Are you saying, you don’t like processed meat?” The speaker then has the opportunity to clarify their message, if need be. They may say, “No, I like salami. I just don’t like hotdogs.” Now you have a better understanding.
- Reflect the feeling. In this stage, you pay particular attention to the speaker’s body language and inflection. The term reflect may suggest you copy the feeling in front of the speaker. This can be counterproductive depending on the nature and intensity of the speaker’s emotion. Instead, pay attention to their body language and allow it to help you interpret the message more accurately. A person who calmly says, “I don’t like hotdogs” is very different from a person who vehemently states it in a loud voice. Whatever you do, do not give that second person a hotdog.
- Respond. With all of this done correctly, you respond in a way that shows you heard and understand their message. This fourth stage may sound like, “I understand. What do you say we go to lunch at this great sandwich shop down the street?” Keep in mind, these stages are fluid. They can, and often will, be used simultaneously or in different orders.”
Practicing empathetic and active listening with your campers will help you to be a better counselor and to give them a better camp experience.
The gap between Tuesday and Friday always feels long as hell, but it is just as long as the gap between Friday and Monday, which always feels short as hell.

Life is really weird- you have great moments and exhausting moments in one day. Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing things wrong but I do the best things I think I can do. Why be here if not to make positive change? I’m trying my best but I still find myself connecting and disconnecting with so many different people. I want stability but spontinaity and the two don’t seem to be going hand in hand at the moment.
I asked a man why drink beer when there’s better things to drink tonight and he was honest- masculinity. That was cool to see someone be open to being that honest about such a stigmatized thing for men to talk about.
i dont really… WANT… to leave tumblr. ive been here since 2011
no other platform has the right format for me to just randomly barf actual thoughts, joaks, and genuine creative content all in the same breath. i dont know how to compartmentalize
every other platform you gotta be a real person. Here you are you’re icon and username and whatever your hyperfixation is at the current moment
on tumblr you can make a post that just says “minecraft” and get 50k notes, where on twitter you have to steal tweets and instagram you have to be hot. tumblr is more like a bunch of kids let loose in walmart where there are no rules and the only god is a bald swedish man
