Asking an open question and then reflecting what the person says is the recommended rule for open questions in motivational interviewing. This allows the person to freely express themselves and then for the therapist to reflect back what they have said, showing that they have been actively listening and understanding. This can help to build rapport and promote the therapeutic alliance.
