Active listening technique, which consists in the listener’s (consultant’s) attempt to briefly and in his own words repeat what the interlocutor (patient) has just said. At the same time, the listener should try to highlight and emphasize the main ideas and accents in his opinion. Retelling gives the interlocutor feedback and the opportunity to understand how his words sound from the outside. As a result, the interlocutor either receives confirmation that he has been understood, or gets the opportunity to correct his words. In addition, retelling can be used as a way of summing up, including intermediate ones.
