Great issue once again! In my days as a therapist, I used the method you describe with discordant couples. It was almost humorous to watch each person absolutely bursting to refute what the other person said, but not being allowed to until they repeated what they heard and were validated by the first speaker. We humans have so much trouble with the most important component of communication--listening--especially if we don’t agree with what we think we are hearing.
