In a minimum of 300 words, post to the Discussion Area your response to the following:
Define and discuss the ways in which the following concepts and therapeutic tools are related when used in the counseling process: immediacy, process comments, and a here-and-now focus. Give an example of something a counselor might say in a session that would incorporate all three of these concepts and explain how each concept is exemplified.
After describing these concepts, reflect upon your own comfort level and sense of confidence in using these tools with clients in your future work as a counselor. What do you see as the risks of using these more relationally focused interventions with clients, and what do you see as the benefits?
