A woman has not come out of her house since she suffered a major injury at work. Although her doctors say she will be able to return to work if she goes to rehabilitation, she refuses to go and cites her concern for her fragile recovery. You have talked to her many times by phone and invited her to attend support groups at the rehabilitation center where you work and to see a counselor, but she never comes, and you are becoming aware that she is terribly fearful. You use an I-message to express your concern and initiate an exchange of views. 

In the vignettes that above, you have a problem a concern about something affecting the client. For each of these situations, construct an I-message from you to the client. Be sure to follow the rules for bringing up your point of view. Make certain you sound tentative and ask for collaboration. Use several sentences to soften and put forth your ideas.
