Essential Question:
"What is the most effective way for a therapist to support a struggling client?"
Answer 3:
An effective way for a therapist to support a struggling client is through achieving self- realization of the client's current issue or situation.
If a client is unaware that their situation isn't "normal", getting them to realize this helps with the process of treatment. Many people are very sensitive with the idea of counseling and are in denial of their current situation as an issue. Getting a client to fully accept and be open about their struggle allows them to be more susceptible to the idea of change and might want it for themselves. All of this has been taught to me through my mentor and through a article about individuals in denial.
When a client wants to change for themselves, to be better and move on in life, the process may go a lot smoother. The client will want to see change and will have self -motivation and that is greatly admired in the counseling community.

What is the most effective way for a therapist to help a struggling client?
2. What is your first answer?
The most effective way for a therapist to help a struggling client is through the action of active and effective listening.
3. What is your second answer?
The most effective way for a therapist to help a struggling client is after fully understanding a client's situation, for the therapist to set a reachable goal and plan to benefit the client's needs.
4. List three reasons your answer is true with a real - world application for each.
- The therapist's job is to have a full understanding after a thorough evaluation, many counseling sessions require this. I have been into a session before and it is required of a counselor of any sort to fully understand a situation before diagnosing and treating.
- Another reason my answer is true is because it is important for a therapist to assign something to a client according to their personal circumstance. It only makes sense for a person to be treated for their own issue, therefore, a therapist must diagnosis a client properly for the best outcome.
- Setting a plan helps ensure that the client and therapist are on the same page and know what's expected. Having goals, even if they are small are such a reward once they are met.
