    Regarding the demonstrations, were they successive sessions? It seemed more like first and last of various ones. Client turned very projective 2:25 or so.

    a defense mechanism can also mean lashing out at something that you don’t want to be true to push it further from your mind. And the way to tell this is by harsh hateful words used in an opinion. btw the girl on the right looks good. I think the client just needs someone who listens and might think most people she talks to is not interested. The girl on the right has an angelic nature, but the client started out as one of those ticked at the world woe is me girls, but changed.

    haha…Im searching for videos that could help me with interview assignment. This is an awful session….Right from the beginning the counselor is asking alot of closed ended questions. The client is a very HELPFUL CLIENT. She gave full responses when closed ended questions were asked. Most clients would give u a yes or no answer, especially reluctent clients.But the client was good at rephrasing…STILL A GREAT VIDEO THOUGH, SHOWED ME WHAT NOT TO DO….THANX FOR ADDING IT

    Interesting most psychologists and counselors are not that nice in session. They are usually late to sessions, probing, rude, sarcastic, and not willing to relate. It is practically a useless field.

    The first variety …
    The first variety of axagerated social anxiety , must be regarded as increased ambivalence, he who hates everyone
    must fear everyone. Compulsion frequently polite acomadating , conciderate this is an expression of a
    reaction that oppose agressive tendencies, but at the same time it may be an attempt to re-establish their self esteem.
    A loss of endangered thoughts guilty feelings, an appeal
    to judgement of others. It is nescessary of all these persons to remain on good terms with all people

    The girl …
    The girl personifyed by the actress has all the broblems of the world but she is sincere, honest, spontaneous and her behaviour is goofy but natural. exactly on the opposite there is the woman: she seems to be so artful, sly, insincere, actually SHE is acting. the real problem is that she maybe do like this every single day of her life. she does’t live her life
