Exercise 21

• Suppose you say to a client," You will need to exercise and follow a low-calorie diet to lose weight and control your diabetes?' What kind of time orientation would a client most likely have in order to follow your directions?
• Suppose a client says," I know I need to lose weight, but I work so much, and the children take so much time. I just don't have time to shop and cook for the right foods or to exercise?' What time orientation does this illustrate?
