You are the nutritionist in a dialysis center, seeing the same patients every week.  Mr. Brown initially responded well to your counseling and has made a few positive changes to his diet.  Now, three months later, you feel stuck. He is still willing to talk with you and greets you with a smile, but his diet is still not ideal.  This client is resistant in some way; what specific counseling techniques could you employ to get the change process going again?       Write some questions and/or statements you would include early in the session.
