🎧Being Heard
This is about attention.
• “You listened to the words I said.”
• No judgment, no interpretation — just presence.
• It’s the experience of someone giving space, not fixing or debating.
Example: “I hear that you’re frustrated that the project timeline changed.”
This doesn’t mean you understand the frustration or agree with it — only that you caught the message.

🧠 Being Understood
This is about accurate meaning.
• “You not only heard me, but you grasp what I’m trying to express.”
• It requires reflection, paraphrasing, or checking in.
• Understanding can happen even when perspectives differ.
Example: “So you’re saying the timeline change made you feel blindsided because you weren’t consulted. Is that right?”
Understanding is cognitive. Agreement is evaluative.

🤝 Agreement
This is about alignment of viewpoint or decision.
• “You and I share the same conclusion or stance.”
• Agreement is optional — hearing and understanding are not.
• You can understand someone deeply and still disagree respectfully.
Example: “I understand why you felt blindsided. I see it differently, but your reaction makes sense.”

Unplug.
Every time my internet went out, I’d call the cable company, and they’d tell me to unplug it from the source, wait 30 seconds, and reconnect. I started applying that same approach to my daily life.
