A man whose wife just left has told you he wants to give up his job and simply leave the area, having no further contact with either his ex-wife or his children. You are concerned that he has not had time to think this through. 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 confrontation. Make certain you sound tentative and ask for collaboration. Rather than a single sentence, try using several sentences to soften and put forth your ideas.
