As a counselor in training we are trained to be rogerian counselors So before you guys come for this guy lol this is how we’re taught to counsel In the real world we can use other techniques but this is how we are trained

Thanks for the role play
Comment from : @Malexa32001

Something in the user tells me he is way too passive, he must talk to his supervisor and her supervisor, request a face to face with tho boss Period She needs to be given a warning, and disciplinary action😊
Comment from : @Malexa32001

I think this a great demo on PCT Often I've been told for my counselling course that we have to control our urge to jump in to help the client because the client is the expert because it's their experience that they're sharing It also helps us to apply our active listening and observational skills and ask questions when needed to validate the client All part of therapeutic alliance PCT demos that perfectly

Hello and good afternoon I hope that you are well Does this really work, and can I take your email ? I am really trying to make some money to support living and costs and help me pay for the dentist I would be very grateful for some help honestly George Thank You
Comment from : @GeorgeC2024

Very good, but i would like to see an example of someone who wasnt so forthcoming with information
Comment from : @sophieglo2

A question for you allbrOnce Carl had arrived at a solution, should Dr Grande have asked him what he considered the consequences/impact of his course of action might have on others? (eg Jill as his co-worker and his own supervisor) It could be that Jill was overworked or underqualified in her role, and now Carl is potentially going to 'stab her in the back' in front of others at a meeting? brbrI would be very interested in your viewsbrMany thanks,brSteve
Comment from : @steveworrall5197

I love the core features of this approach - the genuineness, empathy and positivity between both the therapist and the client however, as a client I would personally find the continuous paraphrasing of stuff I said quite frustrating🙈I feel like I need a lot more direction lol, so I'd have to combine PCT with another approach to make it match perfectly so thank you for the video!
Comment from : @Zozo-yg5zv

Does anyone pay for this? 😃 Give me strength… brbrThe therapist displaying his macho man wishful thinking via that particular way of crossing his legs which constitutes a barrier and a threat (men… 🙄) Secondly, the so- called therapist is judging 98 of the time via hand to chin brbrAs for that client… Mate, no Find another workplace If the managers are so crap as to not intervene though you had to make them aware, a complaint would only make your life a genuine hell The immediate manager will feel undermined and will come back with ‘You’re not a team player’ or similar bullshit, will feel undermined and judged, etc br‘Yeah… yeah… indeed… you must feel frustrated… time to fck off now as I have another client in 5 minutes’ is a waste of time And money

Comment from : @jessiejinlong7892

I know this is a specific type of therapy and done well, but this is NOT the type of therapy for me I am now realizing that the therapists I did not like were using PCT with me!! I kept thinking "Yes, I get you are listening to menow say something that I HAVEN'T saidplease!"
Comment from : @sarahnoelhutchinson6154

I wish I had clients who were this talkative and explained the issues like this Maybe it’s a UK thing but majority of my clients are very quiet and it takes a lot to try to understand what the issue is before helping them to work through things
Comment from : @mariancounsellor

This approach wouldnt work for me I prefer conversation with something addsd from other person not just restating everything Ive said
Comment from : @Blessedkayp0829

Love how the client's name is Carl ! I see what your did there :)
Comment from : @mirlandedickinson5757

The therapist is mirroring the statements back at them, mostly listening and being empathetic However not giving any advice which is clearly what the client wants The client comes to their own solutionbrI do wonder if the main problem is actually the fact that the clients main issue is that they are perceived to be less hardworking or not hitting Deadlines because of this person who is the obstacle in their mind to this problem than the actual problem itself
Comment from : @connie27100

The use of silence, paraphrasing and reflection were all demonstrated so clearly! Thank you!
Comment from : @BethBranigan

When a client makes indeterminate statements like 'there doesn't bseem/b (seem being the golden word) to be any solution', I don't think that your reflection should be definitive reflections such as "there's no other option" He is exploring whether there is and thats why he said "seem" You can capitalise on the indetermination What about "there's frustration in the solutions we need not being obvious all the time"brbrThere are lots of missed opportunities to hold a client down in their exploration here I think Rogers would agree but who knows RIP big man <3
Comment from : @plunderclat221

I came here for a Crisis Intervention Assignment I can't get over young Dr Grande looks! So many of my professors have assigned work that includes links or references to this channel, but I've been a fan long before Thanks, Dr Grande!
Comment from : @dewilew2137

That paraphrasing was everything! Dr Grande really seemed empathic and congruent

Comment from : @VideoSaySo

Great! Thank you!
Comment from : @angels4ever

Good Lord i don't like this person-centered therapy The therapist is just going along with the client, and that is it How is that helpful? The therapist is only re-inforcing the client's views, and those views could be completely off the wall
Comment from : @BambiOnIce19

I love the role play, it is the client that is talking much not the therapist
Comment from : @gieluna8465

among all of the theories and therapy sessions I've learned so far I think this therapy is the most easiest and preferable for me
Comment from : @nurmiasarah5393

Person Centerd is lame All u do is paraphrase and reflect 😒
Comment from : @nombispeaks

If a counselor used this approach with me, I would hope they would tell me, otherwise I would feel heard but would come out of the session thinking I did all the work I would feel like a wasted the session talking too much and not letting the counselor speak
Comment from : @jeneelfrench5767

so let me see if I hear this correctlyand I'm not criticizing the role playis just a relevant question that I thought could have been asked as a pre summary of the disclosure up to that particular point and opened another area of investigationeg " soyou say that her putting her paperwork through in time would allow you to put yours in and for the next person in the process to do the samesoher lateness would most probably cause you to be late as well and for the next person in line to complain to youis this accurate?
Comment from : @juanjosediaz7423

I know I’m four years late but THANK YOU! I’m currently going through internship and all your videos are SUPER HELPFUL!
Comment from : @Sweetcourage

👎 good demonstration of person centered methods, but sessions never play out like this, often it requires more work on the therapists part to get them to think like this
Comment from : @courtlandtapp1276

Thank you for uploading these therapy videos I am going to start following your channel :)
Comment from : @sagaottosson9083

Seems like most of the comments here are from Dr Grande’s students
Comment from : @amorphousface2401

I'm sorry I have to say this but from my experience (being a psychotherapist myself) reality looks different - even with outpatients This client is fairly functional (meaning he has a "real world problem" which doesn't seem to be rooted in his own psychopathology), he engages in solution based thinking processes by himself, he has access to his emotions, he is able to structurize the problem If I imagine my "regular" clients in this situation, surely they would have noticed that their words are merely being repeated/paraphrazed, they would have become very frustrated and they would have asked me for the solution (which I would not give, of course) or decompensated spiraling deeper into the problem, trying to convince themselves and me that there is no solution because the word isn't fair brI don't mean to criticize Dr Grande, he is just demonstrating the technique I just don't find the technique to be very helpfulbrMaybe this is a cultural phenomenon I'm from Germany and here only people with mental disorders have access to therapy (otherwise you have to pay it yourself and most people don't since going to psychotherapy is still somehwat shame-related here)
Comment from : @Vyanne84

Dr Grande I am wondering why you didn't ask the client if he was willing to invite Jill into one of his counselling sessions or if your client was willing to pay for a counsellling session for Jill on alternate visists Because the truth is Dr Grande is that no matter how many letters around town are being churned out through a document mill using software automated form and basic paragraphs to draw them up it is still going to be true that perrson centered therapy to help there is only going to be as succesful for the person seeking it as far as they have already made up their minds first about how much they truly want wellness of their own soul to be Could a counselor in that kind of couselling situation ask their client what they would do if they found a suggestions in their suggestion box like for example, "Please remember that it is still true that the difference between doing only busy work and getting things accomplished with eficacy is true co-operation among the members of the team and while using true listening skills being practised towards those who are supposed to be the ones served instead of helping you churn out an endless stream of pieces of paper through a contracted document mill using only most software automated basic paragraph composing almost in entirety for each document served on which the most important details to your liking so as to please all the mob bosses around enough are being left out Important details like including a set of now missing from your office existing in the structure to be renovated blueprints and if you don't improve the way you are running your 'services' some of us lower ranking employee secretaries might start complaining about you to those paying for your services [and they did]"

not the best example is it?
Comment from : @bobkats

I notice he is not judging and seek to ask for help
Comment from : @georginajovanovic

Does the reflection make him more likeable because it shows he just gets him? What if the other person is frantic with doubt and anxious as this guy is really chilled
Comment from : @georginajovanovic

he does statistics, he counsels Dr Grande what DONT you do!
Comment from : @schnibbler6085

I could do this Just summarise everything the client saysbrHow the fuck does this help?
Comment from : @TheRoarWithin

Although many elements of PCC are well demonstrated in this video (in particular, keeping to the clients frame of reference & not adding your own stuff in) there is very little focus on emotion and it feels apart from the last 20 seconds very cognitive
Comment from : @Moonsforeyeballs

Dr grandes use of person centered therapy techniques assisted in helping the client gain clarity to how he should be handle his challenges at his job Dr Grande never directly gave the client any advice or his own opinions He simply attended to the client by paraphrasing, listening and empathy
Comment from : @ericahammond9901

DrGrande did a great job using attending skills giving the client confirmation, paraphrasing and using attentive body language It was clear to see that the client was in position to lead the session in a manner that was most comfortable for him The client chose the direction and pace of the session Since the client was the one with an issue it was good that he was able to determine what should be focused on since the counselor can not decide what the client’s experiences have been The client came up with some possible solutions while collaborating with Dr Grande Since they were not forced upon him, it seems that he will be more likely to try them out
Comment from : @JamieB

Dr Grande uses the BLS to attend to the client appropriately He reflects the client's feelings, paraphrases and is sure to pull out keywords He is also able to formulate statements that help the client better express his feelings His use of silence allows the client space and opportunity to work through his thoughts and ponder on some possible solutions to his problems at work The session is completely client led which gives the client the power he does not have at work leading to less frustration and a workable solution
Comment from : @kristinblake9294

I find that Dr Grande skillfully balanced reflecting back client's key words, statements, and feelings while also placing verbalizations into conversation that either sum up or provide further, deeper understanding of the client's statements Dr Grande was able to utilize silence to allow the client to further develop his thoughts and feelings to create his own solution to a previously "unsolvable" problem I enjoyed watching how the basic therapeutic skills come alive to allow the client to self-actualize and feel more confident in pursuing his idea to explore another way to approach his problem
Comment from : @chelseareeve36

Dr Grande shows a mastery of basic and advanced listening skills that are essential to a person-centered counseling session His use of reflection of feeling and interpretation were done in such an effective way that the client was able to come to awareness to his own issue in a much deeper way and was able to develop an appropriate intervention to address his issue Dr Grandes use of paraphrasing and encouragers were also effective in helping the client Dr Grande in no way had any influence on the session or the client He simply restated and use the available information from the client and re-directed the information in a different way to help he client come to a deeper understanding of his issue
Comment from : @joseliz8762

Dr Grande set the tone for the session As the client spoke he started to mimic the way Dr Grande hands were At first the client had his hands closed but he just seemed more comfortable and like he was being heard Dr Grande didn't have to say much but just BE with the client and as the client was talking it was like he was figuring out his own solutions and alternatives without being guided but just not judged
Comment from : @kiaraclayton5086

Dr Grande shows us in this session the basis of counseling which is person centered therapy made popular by Carl Rogers This style of counseling focuses on the clients feelings and emotions and helps the client by providing and ear for them to vent to, as well as some small amount of guidance to allow the client to find their own answers to their problems Dr Grande does a great job of using active listening skills like reflection of feeling and paraphrasing while also allowing the client the space and time to talk through things on their own
Comment from : @CashewGonine

Wow! It was just like being in strategies! Dr Grande did a great job at allowing his client the space to process his thoughts, feelings and potential solutions He used the three core components of person centered therapy, congruence, empathy and unconditional positive regard Dr Grande reflected feelings, used good attending skills, encouraged and picked up on the salient themes of the session One thing that stood out the most was Dr Grande's use of silence Something Im not so good at yet!
Comment from : @jessicavickers3946

The client had full control of the space and the session Dr Grande was very empathetic towards the client's frustrations about his coworker As he opened up and continued to express himself, the client seemed to work through his issues and create a goal or a solution for himself Dr Grande also demonstrated a few listening skills that kept the client going
Comment from : @marissabarnes4084

When the client first came into the session he came in frustrated about his coworker and their inability to do their work on time It seems like this issue has been upsetting the client As the client spoke, DrGrande paraphrased and reflected his feelings, which helped him reflect on the issue himself You can tell as the client continues through the session he is able to find a solution to his own problem It seemed like this instilled confidence in the client and helped him take control of his situation while sticking to client-centered techniques
Comment from : @rachelnewberry1089

Dr Grande- I enjoyed this role-play specifically as it relates to the first year of our course work I really liked the use of you BLS skills, your attending and empathetic relationship really shows The client is very comfortable talking to you and you can see the shift in his body language You were able to probe and clarify properly through out the session has helped the client see the end result I felt that the client was truly heard within this session
Comment from : @amandavalentino8182

I really appreciate Dr Grande’s use of the BLS in conjunction with person-centered therapy, more specifically the reflection of feelings and paraphrasing With the emphasis on these two tools, Dr Grande is able to assist his client in putting into words his feelings regarding his challenges at work as well as paraphrasing what the client is saying to assist him in finding his own solutions As a result, the client is feeling heard and understood Dr Grande did an excellent job of emphasizing the person-centered theory by placing all of the focus on the client and his feelings in an attempt to help the client draw his conclusions and create his own solution to his challenges
Comment from : @dHunter94

The therapist utilizes the basic listening skills as he restates, clarifies, paraphrases, reflects feeling, and summarizes, which allows the client to find an alternative solution to his own problem The therapist didn't suggest a solution or advise the client on what to do but rather, with the help of verbalizing what the client was stating, the client was able to figure out his own options It's as if the client was having a conversation with his own conscience
Comment from : @laurynmoffa

This role-play does an excellent job of highlighting the nondirective approach that is inherent in person-centered counseling Throughout the entirety of the session, Dr Grande spoke very little and when he did, it was really only to reflect the clients emotions and ideas back to him However, although he spoke little, his interest in the client's well being was palpable Competent person-centered counselors give very minimal direction within a session, and believe that the goals and objectives of a session should be determined solely by the client
Comment from : @ashleymogle2700

it was cool to see how the therapist paraphrasing and summarizing what the client says at times led to him finding out potential solutions for himself this was also a good example of how the paraphrasing and summarization process works On top of this, the therapist was effective in reflecting feelings which seemed to have made the client more willing to continue talking because he felt understood
Comment from : @RyanPclifton

This session reflects a simple way for a counselor to encourage a client to self-reflect on their concerns which can lead to a solution produced by the client Many of the questions asked by Dr Grande were closed-ended that reflected something the client said and allowed for them to experience further consciousness of what they were feeling Dr Grande was empathetic and very attentive toward the client, showing that he was listening and feeling what the client felt He also made good use of silence which benefits the client because in this session it is seen that the client was really thinking about how he can come to a resolution, which he came to with the help of Dr Grande's encouragers and reflections
Comment from : @remygooch1393

Using skills associated with a person-centered approach Dr Grande as the counselor demonstrated empathic listening in a non-directive manner The counselor used encouragers such as frequent head nods, reflected client affect, and reiterated topics of client issue in his own words without losing any focus or the theme of client’s narrative The counselor was careful to allow the client to drive he session in that he followed whichever topics and tangents the client wished to explore He even checked with the client as to whether or not he felt as though it was a good place to end the session prior to closing
Comment from : @ShoreMeetsFarm

Person- Centered therapy is probably the least complex theory we can put into use in sessions but it requires true skill! The way Dr Grande is comfortable and relaxed with the silence and allowing the client to explore more of his own options only repeating what is being reflected from the client This is a skill I find myself struggling with I often feel the need to "problem solve" in sessions when really I should be channeling more of a Rogerian approach
Comment from : @elyshamason9813

The counselor in this role-play does a wonderful job in reflecting how the client is feeling about his struggle at work The counselor makes sure that he is not directing the client on how to solve his problem, which allows the client to develop a possible solution on his own that he believes will be a step in the right direction to help his situation The counselor speaks briefly within the session and allows the client to have time to think about the situation that is bothering him and work through how he could solve it
Comment from : @brittanyhoffman8068

Dr Grande did a great job of speaking back to the client his own words through paraphrasing and reflection of his feelings The client was struggling at times but Dr Grande was patient in allowing the client to work through it I found myself wanting to help the client with his struggle Great restrain and use of silence
Comment from : @deniseswindell2175

I really enjoy person-centered therapy I like how the client is encouraged to think through their situation and come to a conclusion Dr Grande just listened to the client, was attentive, empathetic, and reflected the client's feelings almost effortlessly The client kept circling around scenarios until he found a good way to bring the issue to the attention of his bosses
Comment from : @johnchristinadarwin8477

I find Person-Centered to be very affective form of therapy The therapist used active listening skills, clearly showed empathy and unconditional positive regard towards the client The main thing about this type of therapy is there normally is no use of questions, which I will have to say this is a prime example of that! I cannot imagine a counseling session without questions, but I realized every question that could have been made was turned into a paraphrase of something the client had said That right there is why I find this form of therapy to be so powerful
Comment from : @kassietrala378

I can appreciate Person-Centered therapy and the space it gives clients to truly feel heard and understood by the counselor The unconditional positive regard, congruence and genuineness the client receives through the basic listening skills can be used no matter what theoretical approach is chosen by the counselor, as reflecting, paraphrasing and encouraging have been demonstrated through several role-plays Dr Grande has recorded Particularly in the video, one can see that Dr Grande was listening intently based off the accuracy of his reflections and paraphrases The ability for the client to hear his own ideas through the voice of the counselor enabled him to create his own solution and goal while becoming more aware of his feelings regarding his work-related stressors
Comment from : @oliviahylton9430

The role-play was very congruent with person-centered tenants The counselor maintains a neutral body language and did not interject solutions The client was allowed the space to brainstorm solutions and come to his own decision independently I noticed that the first empathetic statement seemed to connect with the client immediately The client even had the decision on timing the ending of the session
Comment from : @lisanoland5134

I liked this role-play I think it was a good example of Person-Centered Therapy at work Person Centered Therapy is all about the client The client is in control of their goals and their life Dr Grande was very non-directive, in accordance with this theory He reflected things back to the client, but never gave advice or set goals He let the client do that for himself I really like this therapy
Comment from : @jackieslavin2150

There were several positive things that I noted during this session It was clear that the counselor had a very nondirective approach, the counselor didn't give advice and didn't take an active role in goal setting, instead, the counselor was indirective and allowed the client to set his own goals, which is an important part of person-centered therapy The counselor exemplified competent attending skills through paraphrasing, reflecting, clarifying and summarizing
Comment from : @ashleymegahan5966

PCT allows the client to be in control This is a powerful technique because clients can so often feel out of control The counselor becomes almost a "mirror" reflecting the clients feels, emotions, struggles and allows the client to talk through their own next steps
Comment from : @jackiesorrells5571

This role play provided a great example of how to use Person-Centered Therapy The client did most of the talking and working through his issue with work The counselor was very non-directive and only stepped in to reflect and to clarify what the client was saying The counselor was very genuine and used short questions to reiterate what the client was saying The client seemed to benefit from being able to have a role in problem solving and working through different options that would help him resolve his issues
Comment from : @kaitlynsantola433

This is what I imagine most therapy to be like especially when it isn't specifically focused on a disorder or illness Listening to Dr Grande use person-centered with this client and situation was so smooth and he made it look so easy He let the client talk, progress, and problem solve on his own by only talking occasionally in order to emphasize something that might have nudge the client in the right direction Now what I need to learn is what is the right thing to comment on and what information is less important
Comment from : @rebeccafalter2206

This was a great example of Person Centered Therapy Dr Grande used paraphrasing, summarizing and reflecting in a way that was very easy to see and understand The client needed the space to think and talk about his issues and this approach allowed for that This showed a great dynamic between the client and counselor relationship as well
Comment from : @brandiependergast5865

This role-play seemed to good to be true However, I do believe that an experienced Person-Centered Therapist could use basic attending skills along with clarifying, reflecting of feelings, and paraphrasing to help a client like Carl search deeper into their situation The goal of the client was met by the client and that was to gain hope in finding other avenues than the ones already tried and failed to get either his boss to hear his situation or to get Jill to step up her production
Comment from : @wardellwhittaker859

The counselor showed the client empathetic understanding through attending behavior, and active listening skills Surprising, the counselors use of minimal paraphrasing, reflection of feelings, and open-questions were very effective because the client eventually came up with his own options to his dilemma, and responded that he felt better
Comment from : @veronicabetz9452

The counselor used reflecting, paraphrasing and encouragers during this session which I felt was very effective for this particular client because it appears as though the client needed space to talk and think of another way to deal with his conflict I agree with some of the comments below in regards to integrating theories Using Person-Centered alone may not be as effective for other clients as the counselor says very little and the client may interpret that wrong
Comment from : @janicedixon2051

A good example of Person Centered Therapy The counselor really is the sounding board Empathizing with the clients feelings about his issue helps him feel heard and supported The counselor does not give advice, only reflects what the client is saying so that the client continues to think about his issue in a focused manner and come to a conclusion for himself This seems like an easy thing to do but requires skill To truly listen and reflect rather than respond takes some restraint and practice
Comment from : @jillbeck6917

Listening to this session and the client is really doing the work The active listening and mirroring were good in this session also
Comment from : @andreanichols7950

What is amazing is watching this role-play after reviewing therapies that are directive The therapeutic alliance is quickly established Frequent responses including reflection of feeling and paraphrasing is utilized The counselor also summarizes and check-ins with the client It is the client who explores possible solutions, makes a decision, and encourages himself that there could be a potential positive outcome without any direction from the counselor The client feels relieved at the end of the session It's fun to see the benefit of Person-centered therapy
Comment from : @wandamixon5360

I really like person centered therapy To me it really highlights the needs of the client In this session the therapist is constantly seeking clarification He also summarizes a lot which is essential to the therapeutic process For a bulk of the therapy the client is speaking and or the therapy is reiterating what the client is saying or thinking It definitely allows the client to become aware of what it is he actually needs It allows the client to brainstorm possible favorable outcomesThis is a really good cut and dry rendition of this particular therapy
Comment from : @ciaracarter291

Dr Grande displayed excellent active listening skills The client was having a hard time with stress at work, and obviously needed to vent about it Grande allowed him to answer his own questions and express himself completely Active listening along with the reflections and encouragement helped this client find out what he needed
Comment from : @JoeDirt-el2fr

This video was a great example of the counselor using the basic listening skills of encouraging, paraphrasing, summarizing, and reflecting feelings to help this client rethink his issues The counselor is not directing the client in this video, rather the counselor is using the client's words to reflect back what the counselor is hearing and understanding Because the client knows that he is being heard, he can explore his issues more in depth The counselor is providing unconditional positive regard/acceptance, empathy, and genuineness to the client This allows the client to take responsibility for themselves and the self-exploration process, which leads to a deeper understanding of the self and positive change
Comment from : @adambrowne332

This video shows how using techniques such as active listening and paraphrasing create an enviroment for the client to become open and share The client effortless came up with the solution for his problem with no direction or guidance from the therapist
Comment from : @rbells5173

This role play focusing on person centered therapy really uses good techniques of encouraging the client through his stress focused circumstance at work It is a well displayed example of how to use this type of therapy, and is really helpful by offering understanding and insight
Comment from : @virginiamurrey9139

It was easy for me to see how the non-directive approach was different from using a direct approach in prior counseling videos It was also easier for me to see how the counseling sub-techniques were used by the counselor, especially clarifying, paraphrasing, and reflecting what the client was expressing In my opinion, the most powerful thing the counselor did was listen attentively to the client in a non-judgmental way I think that this is why the client wanted to continue talking and reveal more details about his experience I was surprised that the session ended with such a positive outcome and that the client developed new insight In the future, I would like to use person-centered therapy, while incorporating the use of other techniques as well
Comment from : @angelinastanton7996

This role play of the Person-Centered approach is used exactly how Rogers intended The use of reflections by the counselor enabled the client to come up with his own realizations and solutions He was able to think his way through on his own and did not have to rely on the counselor for a push in a certain way The counselor bring no directive with the client also aided him in feeling more empowered about his situation I really like this approach as it makes the client the one in charge and I feel that is how the client should be, they know what needs to occur, they just need the open space and encouragement to get there which is what the counselor provides
Comment from : @moodifull

This video did a good job illustrating both the counselor and the client's roles in a session with Personal-centered therapy approach The counselor used paraphrases of the content that the client said to develop deeper of the client's story It's helpful to see how the client wanted to tell more and deeper about the story after hearing his own story from the counselor The counselor's position and body language showed the client that he was concentrating on listening to the client and trying to understand how he felt The counselor gained the client's trust by being a good listener and reflecting the right content and emotions back to the client Finally, the non-directive technique of person-centered therapy encouraged and assisted the client to think about his issue by himself and eventually came out with his own idea to solve the problem br However, I personally would like to see more of how silence work in non-directive approach as well as more reflections of emotions
