From your instructor · CPSY 6010 · Fall 2026
“Christine — great progress on rapport this session. Your instinct to reflect Alex's language was strong. In your next session, try to stay with moments of ambiguity a little longer before moving forward. I think you're ready to push into more advanced reflective listening. Let's build on it.”
— Dr. Sutton, annotated Oct 30, 2026
Skill Focus for This Session
Go beyond repeating your client's words. Reflect the underlying emotion, meaning, or conflict they haven't yet named — and sit with it.
Stay with ambiguity
Resist the urge to resolve tension early in the exchange.
Name the emotion
When Alex pauses, that's your moment to reflect what's underneath.
Connect to context
Link what Alex says to what you already know about their situation.
