What solutions make sense?
What do I have to do to get what I need or want?
What's going on?
How do I feel about my situation?

The correct answer is: What's going on?

The first stage of the 3-stage skilled helper model is focused on understanding the current situation and identifying problems or challenges. This stage, often referred to as "What's going on?" emphasizes the importance of gathering relevant information about the individual's circumstances and experiences. Engaging in this reflective process helps clients articulate their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors related to their situation, setting a clear foundation for further exploration and problem-solving. By understanding the current situation, both the helper and client can identify the key issues that need addressing. This stage is crucial because it establishes a shared understanding of the client’s context, which is necessary before moving on to exploring possible solutions and decision-making in subsequent stages. It is about fostering awareness and clarity, which will effectively guide the entire helping process.
