Last week we learned and practiced reflection, which is a type of active listening technique. This assignment will focus on these 3 different modes of reflection:Mirroring (using the same words as the speaker)Affect labeling (identifying the emotions experienced by the speaker)Reframing (identifying the interests of the speaker, rather than the positions)This week, practice each form of reflection with someone in your life. Review the handouts on feelings and needs, including the Feelings Wheel and NVC handouts: they may come in handy for affect labeling and reframing, but donΒt feel constrained by using them either.Here are some questions for reflective practice that you can use to observe yourself after practicing reflection:How does it feel to practice this skill of reflection? Does it come easily, or does it challenge you? Why do you think it is?Are some modes of reflection more challenging for you to practice than others? Why do you think that is?How is practicing the skill different when you agree with what the speaker is saying, versus when you disagree?Did you reflect any strong emotions for someone in your life? What was that like for you?Did you find any types of filters appeari
ng in your reflections? How do you think they affect your use of the skill? (Think about what we learned about filtered listening vs. solutionless listening.)What reservations do you have about using this skill?Did you use any other skills in combination with reflection? (e.g. positions/interests, 5 core concerns, non-violent communication, filtered listening, solutionless listening, etc) What did you notice about combining them?Here are some questions for reflective practice that you can use to observe your speaker after practicing reflection:How does reflection seem to impact the speaker? What is your evidence for that?Did any of your reflections strongly resonate for the speaker? What did you notice about that? How did it impact the speaker?Did your speaker Βwalk backΒ any statements after you reflected them? What did you notice about that? How did it impact the speaker?Did your speaker have any reactions to reflection that surprised you? Confused you?Write 300 words about your experiences practicing reflection. You do not need to answer all the questions above, but you do need to demonstrate a similar kind of critical exploration. You can also explore new topics not identified above.
