It goes beyond simply recognizing the emotional content and involves empathetically resonating with the client's emotions. Reflecting emotions entails capturing the emotional tone, intensity, or underlying sentiments in the speaker's communication and expressing them back to the client. This technique helps to create a supportive and empathetic environment, fostering a deeper connection and understanding between the therapist and the client.Here's an example of reflection of emotions in a therapeutic context:Client: "I'm feeling really anxious about the upcoming job interview. I can't stop worrying about messing up and not getting the job."Therapist (Reflection of Emotions): "It seems like you're experiencing a lot of anxiety and worry about the job interview. The fear of making a mistake and the possibility of not getting the job are weighing heavily on you."In this example, the therapist reflects the client's emotions. They accurately capture and summarize the client's feelings of anxiety, worry, and fear. By reflecting the emotions, the therapist demonstrates empathy and understanding, acknowledging the client's emotional state and validating their experiences. This reflection allows the client to feel heard and understood, creating a safe space for them to explore and process their emotions related to the job interview.If you need to study for your NCMHCE narrative exam, try the free samplers at: CounselingExam.comThis podcast is not associated with the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) or any state or governmental agency responsible for licensure.
