Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Options A, B, and D are all direct benefits of responding to a helpee's emotions, as they involve acknowledging and validating the helpee's feelings, which is a crucial aspect of emotional support. Option C, however, is more about the content of the conversation rather than the emotional response or support mechanism. Talking about people and events might be a part of the therapeutic process, but it is not a direct result of responding to emotions.
