To effectively paraphrase,counselors should take a client's words and

A) parrot what they have said back to them.
B) repeat back what the client has said and add on their own interpretation.
C) repeat back what they have heard in their own words and check with the client for accuracy.
D) repeat back what they have heard in their own words and allow the client to comment on the accuracy if they so choose.

Paraphrasing involves repeating back what the client has said, but in your own words. Option A is incorrect because simply parroting back what the client said may not accurately capture the intended meaning. Option B involves adding your own interpretation, which is not necessary and could potentially introduce bias. Option D is similar to C, but implies the client must comment on accuracy, which could be uncomfortable or put pressure on the client. Option C is the most accurate and respectful option, where the counselor repeats back what they heard in their own words and checks with the client for accuracy.
