The goal would be to understand the client as a whole person rather than just the concerns that initially brought them to counseling. By maintaining a sense of curiosity through active listening and a genuine interest in the client, I would encourage them to share more about themselves. As part of the lifestyle assessment, we would explore his family constellation and ask questions such as: “What were you like as a child?” and “What was your relationship with your siblings and parents?” More appropriate questions for Juan would be: “How did your parents' experiences as immigrants influence your childhood?” and “Were you expected to behave differently from your siblings based on your gender?” This information will lead to a greater understanding of how your family has shaped your values ​​and your perception of yourself and others. When providing interpretations, I would work with Juan to get his perspective and make sure the interpretations are correct. I might say, "I wonder if you've lost interest in some of your hobbies because you're worried that your family might think you're not focusing enough on school," then provide Juan with the opportunity to share his thoughts on the matter
