Empathic Presence (Egan, 2014)
S: Sit squarely facing the client
O: Observe an open posture.
L: Lean toward the person.
E: Establish a good eye contact.
R: Relatively relaxed or natural.
Accepting pauses or silences that may extend for several seconds or minutes without interjecting any verbal response.
Using Silence
Using statements or questions that (a) encourage the client to verbalize, (b) choose a topic of conversation, and (c) facilitate continued verbalization.
Providing General Leads
Making statements that are specific rather than general, and tentative rather than absolute.
Being Specific and Tentative
Asking broad questions that lead or invite the client to explore (elaborate, clarify, describe, compare, or illustrate) thoughts or feelings.
