The Healing Power of Simply Listening
from The Therapist and the Coach · host Oren Raz
What if the problem isn’t that you don’t know how to listen… but that your nervous system can’t access presence? In this first episode of 2026, Oren and Lerae unpack why “listening skills” fall apart in real life—when your mind is flooded with to-dos, stress, old wounds, and invisible overwhelm. They explore the left-brain obsession with doing (even “doing listening”) vs. the right-brain world of emotion, energy, and capacity. With a hilarious, tender parenting story about diaper changes, they reveal what deep listening actually requires: relationship, co-regulation, and the courage to be real. Expect neuroscience, truth, and a powerful invitation: stop performing presence—and start meeting what’s here.
