along with presence, I introduced mediation and deep breathing as coping skills the client can use to clear their mind when they need it. Although the client thought it was helpful, as evidenced by her response in the assessment, she objected to using it during the session. I believed that I was able to handle the client's challenge and gain greater acceptance for using the technique in return. The client mentioned “Frank has successfully introduced breathing technique and meditation.” I was able to reveal some of my experience with meditation and deep breathing to help her understand how it might be helpful for her too. I also introduced role-playing as a way to show different perspectives than the ones she brings in as she talks about how others will treat her if she talks about her pregnancy. I thought this part shed light on some of the misconceptions he had about it
