When a client is unable to describe a symptom, such as emotional pain or anger, scaling is sometimes helpful. Scaling is defined as:
  1. Letting it roll off your back, without a second thought
  2. Verbally acknowledging that you are weighed down
  3. A meditation balancing both hands
  4. Using a rating scale to determine the gravity of the problem
Explanation
Answer - D - Using a rating scale can help the therapist determine how clients are feeling when they are unable to verbalize it. Scaling can also be useful in gauging continuous progress over time in treatment. Scaling can be used in CBT because it is by default a measurable, concrete example and in Solution Focused therapy, since the end might be considered reached when a scale reaches 10 or zero.
