Feedback:

Client wants to deal with things better and finding a balance. Try not to give as many directives and advice as this can stunt the growth of your client. By giving them the “answer” it will make it more challenging for them to have their autonomy supported. Be careful about saying “definitely understand” too much. The focus changed from client to your client’s mother. You can try to focus on what is behind the fear of change for your client. Say something like “Tell me what change represents to you.” Then reflect meaning on what the deeply held belief is. There should be more exploration throughout. Overall, you used several basic skills. There are still areas to work on pertaining immediacy, reflection of meaning, and avoiding advice giving, close-ended questions, and giving too many directives.
