The case below summarizes some of
the verbal techniques so far discussed between a Client and a Counselor. The
Counselor in her office as the client walks in crying.
Counselor: My dear, what
made you to come to my office crying? What actually
happened?
Client: hmmmmm
sopping in tears…..hmmmmm
Counselor: Please my
dear, be calm and open up to me, I am here to help you
Client: I am so
unhappy about my facebook boyfriend. Who I loved very
much (Client was
crying)
Counselor: oh dear, you
really look so worried what about your facebook boy friend?
I mean what happened to
him dear, be open to me and am here to help you.
Client: He
promised to marry me, he called me often but all of a sudden, he
changed and started
calling me all such names I never expected and the
worst is that he does not
pick my calls any more.
Counselor: You mean your facebook boy friend say he
would want to marry you? And he called you bad names and does not pick your
calls?
Client: Yes
ma…..although am worried, I don’t know if I can live without him, and the worst
is that he just updated that he is married to a girl called chiamaka. Infact
ma, I want to die.
Counselor: No dear, don’t
say that, you will not die. But when last do you see him
Please?
Client: Ma, I have not seen him before but
we do chat and do video calls on Whatsapp.
Counselor: So
sorry dear, but you should’nt have fall in love with someone you have not seen for the first time. Some men claim that
they are not married while they are already married for years with children let
alone to have initiated talking to you. So dear, get your heart off him and
move ahead with your life.
Client: Yes ma, (crying) but ma I don’t think
if I will ever love any man again
Counselor: Oh no dear, all men are not the same but you
have to be careful and stop
liking or loving some one you have not seen in person.
Client: Yes ma, but I have signed that I will
not love anyone again.
Counselor: You don’t seem to understand what am
saying, I told you to move ahead with your
life and stop thinking that all men are the same. Its time to work on your
mindset and make it aright for the right person and don’t love those you have
not set your eye on them before.
Client: …….silence, so, stopping to love is not the
best option.
Counselor: Yes dear…….
Client: Ok Ma, I will do that.
Counselor: We
have been talking about your facebook boyfriend who promised to marry you and
he ended up marring a girl called chiamaka. We ended by agreeing that you should
restructure your mind and move ahead with your life. We also agreed that all men are not the
same and when one door close another one will open. So move ahead .
Counselor: When we meet next week, you shall tell me
the latest development and decide the next step to take.
Client: Okay…Okay ma.
Counselor: So I hope to see
you next week Friday and same time. bye
