Responding to nonverbal cues enables a counselor or therapist to go beyond a client’s words and respond to the messages that are being communicated by the client’s physical actions. Care must be taken not to overgeneralize every subtle body movement. The counselor or therapist is looking for patterns that either confirm or deny the truth in the words the client uses for self-expression. When such patterns become apparent, it is the responsibility of the counselor or therapist to share these patterns with the client. It becomes the client’s responsibility to confirm or deny the credibility of the perception.
