Reflective exercises
Dr. Louis does something with clients called a “reflective listening exercise.” One person is the speaker and one is the listener. Often the first speaker is the person who was betrayed. They do “I statements” like “I feel insert emotion word here.” For example, “I feel hurt when I imagine that you were with someone else. What could really help me is knowing that you’re committed to doing the work to repairing our relationship.”
