Chapter 8

Question #1- In chapter 8, MacCluskie discusses how some feelings are causing clients discomfort, which results into those feelings causing some secondary symptoms. The example used talks about a parent whose child moved away and they are feeling loss and sad, but they complain of insomnia and irritability. What are ways to help the client acknowledge their true feelings using reflection skills?

Question #2- In chapter 8 of “Acquiring Counselling Skills” there is a section discussing how “when the magnitude of our loss is too big to comprehend, we retreat from it out of fear that the loss will take over, that we will completely lose control of our lives, or of ourselves” (p. 130). How would you approach a session with a client who is retreating from the reality of loss out of fear of loss of control? How would you use reflection skills in this session?
