Helping Client gain insight during counseling
Helping a client gain insight likely relates to a sensitive topic for the client. If the client saw it as benign their unconscious would not see a reason to withhold the information (assuming for a moment, we believe in an unconscious mind). One way to help a client gain insight is through interpretation, but how do you know if your or their interpretation of their behavior or thinking pattern is “right?” For example, someone constantly seeking the approval of others could be interpreted as them not being okay with themselves. How do I know that interpretation, or any interpretation is correct? What are the pros and cons of insight? What is the role of immediacy in helping one gain insight?
