What occurs during Meichenbaum’s second stage of therapy?

Question

a. Structured, standardized coping skills training is used to address the client’s problem and train the client in ways to handle future problems. The skills are practiced in the counselor’s office.
b. Coping skills training is tailored to the client’s problem. By means of a graded hierarchy of stressful situations, skills are practiced in the clinical settings and then rehearsed in vivo.
c. In this working stage, the client explores thinking errors that contribute to the client’s problems. The client also discusses with the counselor alternative ways of dealing with difficult situations.
d. Clients are educated about what stress is, the role of their self-talk dealing with stress, and how they may accidentally add to stress levels themselves.
e. Clients use their coping skills in increasingly difficulty situations. High-risk situations and warning signs are identified in a relapse prevention component.
