Unchecked negative emotions can interfere with focusing on the message of another.

If you're listening to someone who is emotionally distraught, remain calm, focused and try to communicate your interest in the other person.

Use self talk (tell yourself to remain calm) to quiet the noise and steer back to the subject at hand
