During the ending process of the work relationship between a social worker and the client, why is
sharing ending feelings and saying goodbye important?
A. It helps the client suppress feelings that are inappropriate to share with the social worker.
B. It allows the social worker to share his or her emotions—be it anger, sense of guilt, or
inadequacy—with the client.
C. It helps prevent a sense of incompleteness that may otherwise inhibit the client’s

D. It helps the social worker suppress feelings that are inappropriate to share with the client
ANS: C
Clients may experience several emotional responses as they end their relationship with you:anger , sadness, loss, fear, guilt, rejection, ambivalence, gratitude, and affection. Clients may hesitate to express their emotions freely at this time. If they conclude the relationship without sharing some of these feelings, they may experience a sense of incompleteness. This "unfinished" quality may impede the appropriate process of psychological separation from you and inhibit the client's movement toward increased autonomy and independence. Therefore, we usually encourage clients to express their ending feelings.
