Answer to Question 1

1
Many clients will share themselves when they have trust and someone is willing to take the time to listen.

Answer to Question 2

D
This frightening experience would stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, causing a release of norepinephrine, an excitatory neurotransmitter. It prepares the body for fight or flight. Increased blood pressure, pupil size, and pulse rate signify release of norepinephrine. Intestinal cramping would be associated with stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system.
