As you engage clients in the process of working toward the goals you jointly agree to pursue, you make a transition. The skill of responding with immediacy (Carkhuff & Anthony, 1979) involves exploring clients' thoughts and feelings about you, your relationship with each other, or your work together as they occur. In responding with immediacy, you focus on clients' experience of what is occurring right here and right now between you. These thoughts and feelings become the subject for immediate exploration.
