Now imagine yourself listening intently to each of the clients quoted below. First use the “You feel . . . because . . .” formula; then use your own words. Try to make the second response sound as natural (as much like yourself) as possible. After you use your own words, check to see if you have both a “you feel” part and a “because” part in your response.
Case 1. A 28-year-old woman is talking about her job with a colleague: “It’s not a big thing. But this is the third time this month I’ve been asked to change hours with her. I said yes, of course. But it certainly seems to indicate who is more important there. Why does it always have to be me who defers to her?”
Use the formula.
Use your own words.
Case 2. A man who has been suffering from depression for a number of months is talking with a psychologist: “I’ve seen my doctor a couple of times. But now, since the depression isn’t getting any better, he wants to give me this drug. . . . But I don’t even take aspirin if I don’t have to. Somehow drugs and I don’t mix. If I had pneumonia or some infection, it would be one thing. But this is all in my head. I don’t want to be taking psycho medication. I’m not crazy!”
Use the formula.
Use your own words.
Case 3. A counseling trainee is talking to her instructor. The training group has just been introduced to the skill of inviting clients to challenge themselves. They have practiced self-challenge and have just begun using invitations to self-challenge with one another: “For the first time in this program I am having trouble and it’s bothering me. What I’ve found out is that I have no problem with self-challenge. In some ways I have been doing that for years. But now I see that maybe I’ve been picking on myself, you know, being too much of a perfectionist. And I’m finding it really hard to challenge the members of my group. Oh, I know the theory. But doing it is hard. It’s almost as if they won’t like me if I do it well.”
Use the formula.
Use your own words.
