Confronting an obvious lie. Confrontation in any form can ruin the trust between counselor and subject. Reflect don't interject. What you guess at, is trivialising. Do not assume the next person is at the same point as the last one. Which service matters? Of course, methods, exposures, types, actions, levels of stress are different.
