In this experience, I saw a client ask the counselor what he thought he should do in a situation where both choices were undesirable. The counselor didn't give his opinion and it seemed like the client left more frustrated and confused than when he came in. I empathized with him and frankly was a little annoyed with the consultant for not giving him advice or his opinion. After the session, the counselor stated that it was necessary for the client to make the decision himself. While I could appreciate it, I wasn't completely satisfied with it
