What are reflections? Provide an example.

What will be an ideal response?


Reflections form a core technique to guide the client toward change. Reflective listening helps the client by providing a therapeutic synthesis of the content and process of therapy. Reflections not only reduce client resistance, but also they also encourage clients to keep talking. There are different levels of reflections. Simple reflections that repeat, rephrase and stay close to clients’ talking content. The therapist repeats the client’s statement in a neutral form. Simple reflections acknowledge and validate what a client has said.
