This process involves promoting self-efficacy, which means the counselor is encouraging hope and optimism in the client to empower them to make positive changes. It is not only used in the final stages, but throughout the intervention strategy, and it does not solely remind the client of their responsibility but empowers them to take responsibility for their actions.
