The client signed an informed consent form at the beginning of the session, which explained that the discussion would be kept confidential unless the client signed a release of information form. The client's main concern was about being surrounded by co-workers who liked to talk about sports and music that did not interest him. As the counselor, the student tried to keep an open mind and not judge the client, making eye contact to make him feel comfortable. However, it was difficult not to be biased since the client was her husband, and she had heard the story before and did not want to hurt his feelings. The student needs to improve by not smiling or fidgeting as much and being a better listener.

eyes contact at the level that I know that client would feel comfortable. There were a few things that I did not like as a counselor. Even as a
counselor I had tried to keep an open mind and try not to be bias. But I could not stop myself from not being bias because the interviewee is my
husband. The other thing was that I have heard the story before and since it's my husband I can be myself, or honest. I did not want to hurt my
husband feeling. The other issues are the topic was about sport; the topic that I have no idea about and hate. The improvement that I need to
work on is not to smile too much, play with my pen, and to be a better listener. I want to be able to be true to myself and to the client. During the
session I had caught myself playing with the pen and had moved the pen back and forth like I am
