Becoming Unapologetically Me with Helen Norbury
Deep Listening with Dr. Randall Alifano
In this episode of Becoming Unapologetically Me, host Helen Norbury engages in a profound conversation with Dr. Randall Alifano, author of 'Listening in the Raw'. Dr. Alifano shares his 40 years of experience as a counselor therapist, discussing the critical importance of genuine listening. The discussion touches on the prevalent issues of superficial communication, the impact of technology, and the inherent human longing to be truly heard. Dr. Alifano also elaborates on his concept of 'empathic surrender' and its transformative power in therapeutic settings. The conversation delves into practical insights for parents, the detrimental effects of not listening on loneliness, and the cultural shift needed to improve listening skills across generations. Helen and Dr. Alifano explore how deep listening can lead to a greater sense of connection and resilience both in personal relationships and within society at large.
Dr. Randall Alifano has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and is an Ordained Minister with over 40 years of experience integrating psychology and spirituality in his private practice. He has worked with a diverse group of people at various stages of their lives, listening to their dreams and aspirations, traumas and confusions, and their desire to live life more attuned to their inner wisdom. And he has loved doing it his entire career. Over the decades, he has studied numerous theories and methodologies—both psychological and spiritual—and they have all filtered down to inform who he is and how he works.
