Answer the 6 Advanced Questions

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

1) A client says, “I know everyone says I should move on, but even hearing my father’s favourite song makes me feel like I cannot breathe.” What is the best listening response?

The client is not asking for advice. The emotional meaning behind the statement is grief, pressure and difficulty coping with reminders.

2) A client laughs while saying, “I was rejected again. It is funny now; maybe I am just made for failure.” Which response best demonstrates advanced empathic listening?

The client’s words and tone do not fully match. The counsellor has to listen for hidden pain under the humour.

3) A counsellor paraphrases, “So you are angry with your mother,” and the client replies, “No, not angry… more helpless.” What should the counsellor do next?

The client has corrected the counsellor’s listening response.

4) A client says, “It was my fault that my partner shouted at me. I always make people angry.” Which listening response is most appropriate first?

The statement may contain shame, self-blame and possible relationship harm. The counsellor must choose a response that listens without confirming the client’s self-blame.

5) During a session, a client becomes silent after saying, “Nobody has ever asked me what I wanted.” What is the best listening intervention?

The silence follows an emotionally important statement. The counsellor feels tempted to fill the gap with many questions.

6) A client says, “You are probably going to judge me like everyone else.” Which response best supports listening, alliance and intervention choice?

The client is testing whether the counselling space is emotionally safe.
