Encouragement is believed to play a vital role in all phases of the therapeutic process and is seen as a way of building courage thus enabling clients to take on the responsibility for one's life while establishing personal worth. Also critical at this stage are assessment interpretations provided by therapists to assist clients in gaining awareness, insights, and purpose in relation to their private logic and overall lifestyle. Phase 4, which is the final phase, is about reorientation and re-education and is considered the action-oriented phase. Reorientation includes shifting the rules that govern interaction, progression, and motivation (Corey, 2013). This is further seen as putting practice beyond therapeutic sessions where clients are thought to experience a sense of belonging, self-esteem and gain interest in others and their well-being among other useful lives.
