I’ll stay here and sit awhile.
You seem upset, would you like to talk?

You seem restless.

You are smiling but I sense you are very angry with me.
It sounds like that was a really hard time for you. Is that
correct?
28
Help me understand what that felt like.
Give me an example of one time you thought everyone hated
you.

I’m not sure what you mean. Could you tell me about that
again?
Did these feelings start after the incident happened or were you
feeling this way before?

terminated

during the latter period of the relationship

individual is reacting and any special needs the person may have at
this time
• Help the person identify other people with whom it is possible to
have a relationship
• Review the gains and the goals that remain • Discuss the pros and
cons experienced during the
relationship to help the individual develop a realistic
appraisal
