question 7

Essay

Write three different interpretations of the following client statement. Imagine that you are counseling him now. (He was a friend of ours who later passed on at age 55.)
"I'm not going to exercise. I think that the time people spend exercising is a waste. I'd rather read, enjoy myself, and work. Yes, I may die a couple years sooner, but I figured out all the hours I'd waste walking, running, or something like that. I don't think it's worth it. Could you please pass the bread and butter?"
