Document Summary

Encouraging: give short responses that help clients keep talking, clients elaborate on the topic, particularly when encouragers and restatements are used in a questioning tone of voice, verbal, repeating key words, short phases, uh-huhs, nonverbal, nodding, smiling, silence. Paraphrasing: shorten, clarify the essence of what has just been said, but be sure to use the client"s main words when you paraphrase. Paraphrases are often fed back to the client in a questioning tone of voice: clients will feel heard. They tend to give more detail without repeating the exact same story. If a paraphrase is inaccurate, the client has an opportunity to correct the counselor: clarify content, ensure understanding, avoid parroting, sentence stem: sometimes using the clients name. Summarizing: summarize client comments and integrate thoughts, emotions and behaviours. This technique is similar to paraphrase but used over a longer time span.
