2. Paraphrase each of the following client statements:

· At a party the other night, I finally met someone with whom I can carry on an intelligent conversation. He seemed interested too, but he didn't ask for my phone number.

· It's a dilemma! I don't know whether to finish the school year or drop out and get a handle on some of my debts.

· My supervisor wants to see me today. I know she wants to talk to me because I've been late for work over the last few weeks.

· First my car broke down, then the fridge. Now it's the plumbing. I should marry someone who is good at fixing things.

· I think that with AIDS and all the other diseases you can catch, we should all take precautions. You never know who might be infected.

· Well, to put it bluntly, I think my partner has a lover. But I could forgive that. I just want our relationship to be the way it was when we first met.

· I've tried everything. I have a great résumé. I've called everyone I know. I look for a job five to six hours a day. Still, I can't find work.

· Lately, I've been thinking that there has to be more to life than work and play. I'm not even sure if I believe in God, but I need to find some meaning for my life.

· I just lost it. My anger built up and I hit her. She got so upset that she packed up and left with the kids. I've never done anything like that in my whole life. I realize that I didn't solve anything by losing my temper. Now I may have ruined my marriage and turned my kids against me.

· I guess I'm going to have to find some way of dealing with my drinking problem. The other day I was so sick from drinking that I couldn't even get out of bed. I just can't let booze continue to jeopardize my work and my family.
