If it s the same as saying... You repeat what the child is saying by just stating what they expressing.. for example...

I am so mad at you ..... then you state I understand that you are mad/angry/ upset...

It just validates what the child is thinking/ feeling and allows them to see that you understand..

I learned and have used it with odd children in a residential facility to 4th graders with behaviors.. it seems to work..
