Reflecting strategies enable the counselor or therapist to provide feedback to the client regarding both the ideas (content) and the emotions (feelings) that the client is expressing. By reflecting content, the counselor or therapist shares their perceptions of the thoughts that the client is expressing. This can be done either by using the client’s words or by changing the words to better reflect the counselor’s or therapist’s perceptions. By reflecting feelings, a counselor or therapist goes beyond the ideas and thoughts expressed by the client and responds to the feelings or emotions behind those words.
