In my opinion the client seems very nervous by using the phrase “um” so much. One use of attending You could tell that the therapist was listening because I the middle of the session as the client is telling his story the therapist is saying ok and nodding his head as to show that he is understanding what is being said. For future sessions I feel that the client could be a little more verbal when responding to what the client had to say. This might make the client more comfortable in opening up. One use of paraphrasing To me this was a very good example of paraphrasing. You were about to restate what the patient said into your own words.  ME: Ok.  So, Andy, with all that I’m hearing, between the football, classes and grades, and going out, it really does sound like there are a lot of time management concerns.  Is that correct? One instance of reflecting a feeling  A feeling that I noticed was consolation, the advice that was given to the client was something that made them feel better after they’ve been discouraged about coming and opening up. ME: Ok.  I’m really glad this is helping you, Andy.  You know, together we can work towards ways of managing the time you have and creating a less stressed environment.   One instance of expressing empathy In my opinion there was a lack of empathy when the client decided to open up there was never really a part that built that bridge. In my opinion the therapist should have let the client know that there are a very large number of student athletes that are going through some of the same difficulties ironing out these issues The summarizing at the end of the session I feel that the full summary of the session and the issues of the client where covered very accurate and very well written. ME: So, to summarize today, we’ve gone over your grades and that additional tutoring might help, the pressure of school along with football is accumulating and currently your outlet is going out drinking but it could be fishing, and your girlfriend had you come in here to talk with someone, even if this is something that at first you may have felt reluctant to.  Does that sound about right?
