What is one of the more effective ways to practice empathy with a parent who is on her last leg when it comes to keeping her son at home when he becomes increasingly rowdy?
  1. Appreciate her story with praise and disbelief
  2. Express the impending difficulty she must have with putting up with everything
  3. Find your own story that you can compare with hers
  4. Reflective listening in order to make sure that you understood everything
Explanation
Answer - D - Disbelief would indicate that you don’t believe her. Instead, try using reflective listening to minimize comparison to her situation, encourage her to explore further, and remain hopeful, rather than consistently reminding her of the difficult road that lies ahead. Your own story has no place in her individual work.
