Bialogue

Bialogue is when two people talk to each other in a special way that makes them both feel good and understand each other better. It's a bit like a dance, but with words.

In bialogue, one person talks while the other person listens really carefully, like they are trying to hear every single word. Then, the other person gets a turn to talk while the first person listens. They take turns like this until they both feel they have said everything they need to say.

But what makes bialogue special is that while one person is talking, the other person doesn't just stay quiet. They actually say things that show they understand and care about what the other person is saying. They might say things like, "I really hear you" or "I understand how that feels".

This makes the person talking feel like they are being heard and that their feelings are important. And when both people feel like they are being heard and understood, they can work together better and feel closer to each other. So bialogue is a really good way for people to communicate and understand each other better.
