•
How the presence or absence of the core condition made you feel/think
•
How you responded (verbally and/or non-verbally)
•
The impact of the absence or presence of core conditions on the relationship between you and the individual.
2.
Repeat these steps for all three core conditions.
Important Writing Information:
