2. Vacant type. This kind of person doesn't know what to say, what the consultant wants to know and what the important content is. Sometimes, the helper can't figure out what the problem is, can't express it or can't express it clearly, and has a lot to express, but he doesn't know where to start, so he is temporarily silent. Eyes wandering, with the color of exploration.
3. emotional type. It is caused by emotions, such as anger, fear and shame. Help seekers are afraid of a certain situation and talk about topics they don't want to talk about. The silence at this time expresses such a message that I don't want to talk about this topic and don't want to stay here. Maybe it's because I'm ashamed to talk about or recall what I did wrong in the past. I use silence to avoid it. He may avoid eye contact with the counselor, keep his head down, and sometimes his hands and feet keep moving. When expressing anger, silence may also be used to express it.
4. think. This silence is generally immersed in deep exploration, which may be like opening your eyes and thinking hard, or it may be like squinting to yourself. Gazing at a certain point in space is often regarded as a symbolic act of this silence.
5. Introversion. This kind of silence stems from the personality reasons of the helper, such as introversion and inarticulate. Silence is his usual way of interacting with people. Especially in unfamiliar environments and crowds. Maybe he had thought over what to say before his visit, but when he arrived at the inquiry site, he probably couldn't say it, and he would be embarrassed and quite upset.
6. Resistant type. Mainly because the passive help-seekers themselves are unwilling or unwilling to receive counseling, others want them to come, so silence is used to show their attitude. Silence is accompanied by doubt, indifference, arbitrariness, impatience and even anger and hostility.
