Task:
Practice active listening by reflecting the client’s feelings (e.g., “It sounds like you’re feeling stressed and uncertain about how to balance everything.”).

• Presenting problem
• Client’s background
• Main therapeutic goals

Reflective Questions:

1. How do you integrate theory into your clinical practice?
