Which of the following skill of the counsellor enriches the therapeutic relationship and transforms it into a healing relationship?

  • A.Empathy
  • B.Active listening
  • C.Attentive listening
  • D.Identification

Answer: A

The key gives empathy as the counsellor's skill that enriches the therapeutic relationship and turns it into a healing relationship. It is the capacity to enter the client's world and understand it as the client does. Active listening and attentive listening are the skills that help to build empathy, and identification is taking on the feelings of another, which can stop a counsellor from staying objective.

Counsellors build empathy partly by active listening, but empathy itself is the understanding that turns a working alliance into a healing one.
