doses of the medicine”

person’s behavior, actions, thoughts, or
feelings

40. Patient: “It is really hard to start the
medicine, and the side effects are really hard
for the baby”

the side effects will get better and the baby
will start to improve”
41. The goal of counselling is to help a person
tell their story
With effective listening skills you can assist a
person in communicating their thoughts and
feelings
When you understand where a person is
starting from, it is easier to help them reach
their goal
