How well do you understand the subtle intricacies of therapeutic communication? These are questions we’ll be answering, as we shine a spotlight on two critical techniques in therapy: reflection of feeling and reflection of meaning. We’ll discuss how these tools aid therapists in echoing their clients' emotions, fostering a sense of validation, and allowing clients to delve deeper into their feelings. 

But there's more! We’re also contrasting empathy with reflection of feeling. Unpacking how empathy extends beyond understanding and sharing feelings, to embodying the experiences of others, and how it differs from a reflection of feeling which is a specific technique used to ascertain and affirm a client's emotions. By exploring these distinctions, we aim to enhance your understanding of therapeutic communication and how it can be used to build stronger connections with clients, enabling them to make changes that resonate with their values and needs. Join us for a conversation that promises to deepen your understanding of the nuances of therapeutic dialogue.
