On Listening is an exploration of listening in all its forms. Our guests will take you on an auditory journey to deepen your appreciation of listening. Experts in a variety of fields as well as everyday people will share their insights and experiences listening to others, to their own bodies, to data, and to themselves. People often strive to listen better, more skillfully, less hurriedly; here we will also explore the “dark side” of listening. Is it always healthy to listen? Are good listeners ever harmed? Join me as we both explore the human experience of listening. Hosted by Daniel Rosen, LCSW-R, CST
