added to their EMR).

indicate that you acknowledge and accept the possible risks associated with such communication. please

your information sent by email, please contact the street immediately."

want family or employers knowing they're in tx. hey contact info for energy contact people, need

consent before doing this.


rapport building techniques - Ans:✔✔-- empathic or sympathetic statements: "you must have felt

Truckee when she left you". communicate your average and understanding of painful emotions. but

don't over use them.


- direct feeling questions: "how did you feel when she left you?"


- reflective statements: "you sound dad when you talk about her". don't overuse because it sounds like

you're stating the obvious.


- if you notice countertransference happening, see them as psychopathology and develop compassion

for them on that basis first
