Empathetic listening goes beyond mere silence while others speak; it is about fully absorbing their words, tone, and emotions. Intriguingly, it also involves reading silences, knowing that pauses can hold unspoken truths or emotions. This silent language can offer deeper insights into someone's state of mind than spoken words. Unexpectedly, neuroscience reveals that such high-level emotional tuning can synchronize heartbeats between listener and speaker, a physiological dance of empathy.
