in order to try and facilitate participation in the work.
b. convey acceptance and empathy and explore the issue to facilitate new
possibilities for participation.
c. increase their credibility so that they can persuade the person to see things
their way.
d. reflect on their thoughts and feelings and client assessment to justify their
strong reactions to this client.
