| Maria: Hello, how are you today? | I think this will be easy. | I didn’t think she looked very happy so I hoped she would tell me what was going on. | Establishing Rapport | |
| P.A. Fine, but I would be better if I did not have to be here. | I wonder why this client doesn’t want to be here. I wonder what made him come in. | I wonder if he shows this kind of annoyance a lot
