What will be an ideal response?
Inclusion, which occurs when therapists put themselves as much as possible into the experience of the client. In doing so, therapists do not judge, analyze, or interpret what they observe.
Presence refers to therapists expressing their observations, preferences, feelings, personal experience, and thoughts to the client.
Commitment to dialogue between the therapist and the client allows a feeling of connection (contact) between the two.
Dialogue is active and can be nonverbal as well as verbal. It can be any modality that expresses and moves the energy between therapist and client.
