without judgment
Free from criticism
Without judgment describes an attitude of acceptance that refrains from evaluating or condemning.
To listen without judgment is to hear someone out rather than deciding whether they're right or wrong.
The phrase appears often in therapeutic and spiritual contexts, encouraging openness: She creates a space where people can share without judgment.
