An American psychologist shares a three-step method for improving our listening skills within our relationships. The 3-2-1 technique lasts no more than 6 minutes, promises the psychologist.

Taking turns, one of the partners speaks, while the other listens attentively. “Speak from your heart about what concerns you or what you want to share,” recommends the doctor of psychology. If the technique suits us, Lawrence J. Cohen invites us to repeat the exercise several times in a row.
