Many people new to MI have trouble moving their reflections from simple to complex. A complex reflection is a guess at the meaning or emotion that the client is expressing. My experience is that this is a matter of practice, and being willing to listen carefully and take a chance at such a “guess”. You might be very pleasantly surprised at how well this works! As with all of the skills of MI, practice is one very important element in improving your skills.
