Confrontation enables the counselor or therapist to provide the client with feedback in which discrepancies are presented in an honest and matter-of-fact manner. A counselor or therapist uses this strategy to indicate their reaction to the client, to identify differences between the client’s words and behaviors, and to challenge the client to put words and ideas into action. This type of direct and honest feedback should provide the client with insight into how they are perceived as well as indicate the degree of counselor or therapist caring.
