Sometimes, people just want others to listen. They want to
voice their concerns and feelings, while knowing they were
heard accurately. As a professional, it is just as important to
respond to clients in a way that allows them to believe that you
have heard them. Your responses can demonstrate your
understanding of where that person is at that moment. During
this process, it is just as important to correct misconceptions of
the client when listening.

made by people with problems. For each statement, first
identify the feeling; write down the word you think best
describes how the person might be feeling. Next, write a brief
empathic response—a short sentence that includes the feeling.
Refer to the sample openers provided in
Chapter 7
under the heading “Useful Responses.”

thought I was exaggerating.”

you in one night?”
