Instead, the counselor should focus on reflecting the client's main or significant feelings. Similarly, it is not necessary to only reflect feelings that are directly apparent, as clients may have underlying or hidden emotions that need to be addressed. Additionally, reflecting discrepant feelings can be beneficial in helping the client explore and understand conflicting emotions. Therefore, the correct approach is to reflect the client's main feelings, whether they are directly apparent or discrepant.Rate this question:

Relaxed body posture concealing deeper feelings.

Facial flushing, or the reddening of the face, can be a physiological response to emotional arousal. These nonverbal cues can provide valuable insights into the client's emotional state and can help the therapist better understand and address their needs.Rate this question:
