Which practice involves letting the client find their own path rather than directing or solving?

• A. Noticing a Personal Trigger
• B. Refraining from Fixing
• C. Entering the Receptive State
• D. Repairing Trust

Answer: (B)

Letting the client find their own path means stepping back from solving the problem for them and guiding them to discover their goals, options, and steps themselves. This is the practice of refraining from fixing. In NBC-HWC coaching, you soften the urge to provide quick solutions, listen deeply, ask open-ended questions, and reflect the client’s own words. By creating space for the client to articulate what they want and how they might get it, you support their autonomy, boost intrinsic motivation, and foster sustainable change because the plan comes from the client’s own thinking. Other skills like noticing a personal trigger, entering a receptive state, or repairing trust are valuable in different ways, but they don’t center the client as the agent of their own path in the same direct way as refraining from fixing.
