What is the impact on the helpee of the helper understanding and responding to the helpee’s affective messages?
The helper is in a better situation to determine if the other party is being truthful and honest beyond the words they speak. In this way, they can make better judgment and provide a better way forward. If the affective messages state otherwise, then the helper is in a better position to follow up by asking the necessary questions and making the helpee more comfortable.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a vocabulary similar to the helpee?
The main advantage is that both parties understand each other, clarity is enhanced, and therefore the therapy session becomes effective.
Most often if a similar vocabulary is used the helper tends to ignore some messages which may be vital in finding solutions. The two parties may also divert from the main subject of therapy as a result of being too familiar.
Are “why” questions typically helpful or unhelpful? Explain your answer.
They are helpful since they help someone to give a reason for doing something. The why questions force someone to step back and think more analytically and hence it more likely to come up with a solution.
How can you tell when you are over participating in a session?
When most of the time it’s you doing the talking while others are listening, monopolizing the session. And you can’t stop interrupting when the others are given a chance to speak.

One may also use distracting behaviors such as raising the hands unnecessarily.How can confrontation be facilitative?
A confrontation can be facilitative if it takes place when both parties are calm, and each issue is addressed one at a time (Rubin et al.20). It should be used to challenge a client’s behaviors and ideas and not to punish them. At the end of a confrontation, the helper should help to implement the decisions that arise.Discuss the goals of verbal responding.
The primary goal of verbal responding is to inform the other person or persuade them. It acts as a tool of knowing more about the other party.
It offers an opportunity for one to stimulate thought and create new relationships.
Non-verbal cues most often follow verbal responding, and this makes it easier for the helper to understand the helpee.Give a facilitative response to the following statement. “I have a tendency to binge when I come home after working twelve hour days.” Give an example of an effective question in the above situation.
What do you feel after binging? Give an example of turning an open question into a statement
During a session, you may ask someone. Do you think working for more than twelve hours is stressing you in any way? Or put it in a statement. I believe that when you work for more than twelve hours, you get stressed.Describe how silence can be useful in a session.
Silence is very useful in any session since it gives the client space to focus and time to reflect without disturbance. It offers a calming moment where the client knows that the counselor does not have any expectation of them.
