Five non-therapeutic aspects of I found about the  counselor's approach to therapy and why they were not helpful were:

1)      Â The first non-therapeutic approach I noticed in the video was Confrontational  It was not helpful because the therapist kept confronting the client with her migraine issues instead of concentrating on the client issues he brought to the counseling session.

2)      The second non-therapeutic approach was False Reassurance because the client did not feel helped of his distress with how he could start a new career at the age of 56, but the therapist redrew from the client issue with tangible solution, instead she shared her migraine problem and still said it to the client "Everything will be fine" although the client claimed, Why you worried about your problem more than mine.�

3)      Invalidation.   The therapist ignored the client feeling of distress about his recent issue brought   to the counseling session by sharing her personal problems.

4)      Focused on self.  The therapist responded to the client in the way that focused all the attention on the therapist and the client.

5)      Last non-therapeutic I found not helpful was Making false promise.    Therapist promised to call the client and set up a time to meet and help him with his recent problem, but she was not in it.
