NCE / CPCE Counselor

Answer: B - When using anchoring in treatment with a client, the clinician is attempting to create planned positive responses to certain situations. Positive anchors can be created to help people reach their goals. Anchors can be planned or spontaneous, positive or negative, external or internal. An example of a positive, spontaneous, external anchor might be the smell of freshly baked cookies, which reminds the person of their grandma who used to bake cookies whenever they visited her. Anchors can occur in any of the sensory channels and can be used to promote positive responses.
