Sample Transcription

Name:    Biff Martin                        Session Date: Mar. 15, 2014

Question or comment: I felt awkward about my non-verbal communication. Am I talking too much?  I think I should’ve allowed more silence to encourage the CL to speak more. I wasn’t sure how to end the session; it seemed very abrupt. Feedback?  Suggestions?
