Listening and Emotional Regulation with Samson Sembeba

This episode of The Fitting Room opens our 2026 summer season! In this episode, Samson talks about how listening is a tool for emotional regulation. Simply asking the question, "How did you get here?" gives the person being listened to the feeling of being cared for and a safe space to process new information. Oftentimes, people get caught up in where people are, but it's not just about where a person is; it's about "How they got there". How they got there helps a person feel loved while also giving the listener context to better communicate and walk with them. As you enjoy this episode, share this with someone to help spread the message that listening is loving!
