Question

A 35 year old woman comes to her ninth coaching session to continue to work on incorporating mindfulness into her life and some gentle yoga to reduce stress.

Client: I don't have time to change my clothes and do the yoga and change back into my work clothes like I thought I would on my hour lunch break.
Coach: There is just no way to engage in any type of yoga on your lunch break.
What type of reflection is the coach demonstrating?
A. Feeling Reflection
B. Shifted-Focus Reflection
C. Amplified Reflection
D. Double-sided reflection

Answer 1

The coach is demonstrating a Shifted-Focus Reflection by suggesting alternative ways to incorporate yoga into the client's busy schedule.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coach is demonstrating a Shifted-Focus Reflection.

A Shifted-Focus Reflection involves redirecting the client's attention to a different aspect of the situation or problem, which can open up new possibilities and perspectives. In this case, the coach is suggesting that the client explore other options for incorporating yoga into her busy schedule, rather than dismissing it completely. By reframing the situation and encouraging flexibility, the coach is helping the client find creative solutions to reduce stress and incorporate mindfulness into her life.

For example, the coach could suggest practices like desk yoga or short mindfulness exercises that can be done during the workday, without requiring a full change of clothes or a dedicated hour-long break.
