Answer the 6 Advanced Questions

Answers and explanations will appear only after you click Submit Quiz.

1) A client pauses briefly and then begins to speak about a painful memory in a slow voice. Which listening technique is most appropriate at this moment?

The client is not asking a question; they appear to be gathering courage to continue.

2) A client speaks for several minutes about family pressure, workplace stress and feeling ‘trapped’. What is the best application of paraphrasing?

The counsellor wants to show understanding without over-interpreting or moving too fast.

3) A client smiles and says, “I am completely fine,” but their voice shakes and their eyes fill with tears. What is the most skillful response?

The counsellor senses an emotion that the client may not yet be ready to name directly.

4) Near the middle of the session, the client has discussed three connected concerns. How should the counsellor use summarising?

The session is becoming scattered, and the counsellor wants to help the client organise the material.

5) After a strong reflection, the client becomes silent and looks down for nearly a minute. What is the best use of silence?

The client is tearful but not dissociated, and the room feels emotionally meaningful rather than unsafe.

6) A client says, “I feel ashamed that I could not handle this like others do.” Which response best avoids the common listening error of sympathy replacing empathy?

The counsellor wants to support the client without minimising the shame.
