” For example, the counselor might say, “I’m wondering if you are telling me what you think I want to hear rather than how you really felt about that event.”
Can you tell us more about these difficulties?
How do you feel about the group pressure to talk?
Can the group help somehow?
I see silence bothers you.
I feel angry for the way you have been treated.
So you expect the group to express positive feeling toward you, so you can share for freely?
