As a therapist, it is inevitable that you will find yourself in a session asking yourself why you feel the way you do towards a particular client or client. Your thought process will allow the rationale that you are a neutral participant in the therapeutic process and your involvement is impartial and guided by the process of therapy. However, you may still feel anxious, angry, sad, agitated, afraid, overly involved with or towards the client(s). Why would this be the case? A great question to ask, and now you will have the opportunity to offer a response.

Offer an example of both processes and share how you plan to address these circumstances when they present themselves in therapy. Text Book is Essential Interviewing and Counseling Skills.
