Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best option when using incomplete sentences to aid in eliciting and expressing feelings is for the client to respond spontaneously with different completions until they feel they have finished. This allows the client to explore their emotions and feelings, without feeling pressured into a specific response or direction. It also allows for a more organic and open-ended conversation between the client and therapist. The other options do not necessarily promote the same level of exploration and self-discovery.
