Corey & Corey indicated that effective helpers have a healthy self-concept, hold positive
beliefs about people, are aware and respectful of cultural differences, have the ability to
listen and understand, and posses empathy, congruence, warmth, compassion,
genuineness, and positive regard.
Active listening - Answer- involves attending skills and reflective listening. Through
utilizing active listening skills the counselor will be able to connect with the client and be
able to reflect the client's emotions, thoughts, and attitudes. By providing reflection to
the addict, the counselor can interject an observing perspective that may be lacking

communicate that perception back to the person
Concreteness - Answer- a process by which the counselor relates the vague aspects of
the client in direct expression of feelings and experiences in specific concrete terms to
assist the client to develop more functional coping skills
Paraphrasing - Answer- the therapeutic qualities of empathy and warmth. Paraphrasing
refers to a counselor's verbal response that rephrases the essence of the client's
message. It allows the client to hear what he or she has just said, either in parroted form
or with added clarity. This interactive process can increase trust and can reduce
resistance.
Reflecting - Answer- occurs when the counselor restates content that had generated
emotion from the client—it is a reflection of feeling. Reflection of feeling captures and
expresses to the client the core of what he or she is feeling. It allows the client to be
aware of his or her own expressed emotions and how the counselor understood his or
her emotional message. The counselor should be careful not to interpret the client's
feelings. When reflecting feelings, the counselor remains neutral and nonjudgmental by
not offering opinions, judgments, or advice
