I used some minimal encouragement throughout the interview, some of the minimal encouragement was just sounds while my client spoke (L 7, 65, 100, 111 , 144, 153, 164, 174, 191, 196, 206, 213, 233). I could have used more minimal encouragement at times to try to focus on the main problem which was academic anxiety, this would have been done to get my client to explore a deeper meaning to her problem. In a few cases, I should have used a different minimal encouragement that would have been more appropriate (L 144, 153). Instead of saying "that's good", I should have used "mm-hmm" because it could have been perceived as a judgment rather than a statement that conveys attention and understanding of the subject.
