Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the practice example, the client who is initially resistant and guarded begins to open up when the worker demonstrates persistent and genuine concern with the client's feelings. This approach shows empathy and helps develop a trusting relationship, which can lead to the client feeling more comfortable and willing to share their thoughts and feelings. Providing information, becoming defensive or confronting the client are less effective approaches and could potentially increase the client's resistance.
