Answer 1

The conversation represents reflective speech and client-centered therapy, showcasing the therapeutic approach that encourages self-discovery and personal growth facilitated by the therapist.

Step-by-step explanation:

This conversation is an example of reflective speech and is typical of client-centered therapy. Client-centered therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, emphasizes the therapist providing a supportive environment where the therapist often mirrors the client's conversation through actions like reflective speech, promoting self-discovery and personal growth. Unlike psychodynamic therapy, where the focus might be on uncovering unconscious motivations and past experiences, client-centered therapy is concerned with the individual’s perceived reality and facilitating an environment conducive to the client's growth.
