Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Being direct in therapy can lead to the therapist feeling more self-involved and possibly disclosing more about themselves. Moreover, being direct can potentially trigger feelings of hostility in a therapist towards their client, while the client may become more vulnerable. Both options A and C can be true, but they only encompass one aspect of the therapist's potential reactions, whereas option D covers both potential reactions.
