OARS Activity

image of Bob's Third Visit

Bob: Wow, I wish my wife was here now to hear you tell me that I am not a failure, that my daily walks are a good thing and that even if I did decide to ask for some more info about going to Pulmonary Rehab – and what exactly would I be getting myself into- it’s only because I’m starting to see it as a way to get a break from her and build more peace and quiet into my day.

Provide three responses for this client’s statement in the following text boxes

Bob’s 3rd Visit

There are additional responses to the client’s statement. Identify whether each response is an example of OARS.

 

Practitioner Response #1: The conflicts between you and your wife have been around your refusal to go to a Pulmonary Rehab Program?











  •  

Practitioner Response #2: Well, it sounds like if your wife was here with you today she would tell me that the number one thing on the agenda is to revisit the referral to Pulmonary Rehab. But she’s not my client, you are. What do you want to talk about today? How can I be helpful to you?











  •  

Practitioner Response #3: Your wife is really upset that you declined the referral to the Pulmonary Rehab Program and it’s now become a source of ongoing conflict in your relationship.











  •  

Practitioner Response #4: You’re starting to think differently about my referral now. That perhaps all the effort that it may take to get there could provide some big payoff ultimately on several levels. It’s not even just about improved health and quality of life. It’s about peace of mind, peace and quiet, and restoring some calm waters on the home front.
