You are conducting an interview with Mrs. Fiona, the Latina woman who is concerned about her children being mistreated at school. She says, “I guess I’ve never felt like we really belong here in this town. Nobody really seems to like us or want us here. I guess we just don’t fit in.”
a. Write the words you might say in reflecting an issue as Mrs. F sees it.
What will be an ideal response?
ANS: Students' answers will vary. Reflecting goals involves communicating your empathic understanding of clients' views about goals that they would like to pursue. As are all reflecting skills, it is a form of active listening. When you reflect their goals, you demonstrate that you have heard and understood the direction clients want to go. In reflecting goals, you may paraphrase or mirror the client's words even when they are expressed in general terms. Alternately, you can modestly extend what the client said by phrasing your response so that the goal is clear and specific.
