In Termination, which statement best reflects the client’s status?

• A. The client has not yet altered behavior
• B. The client should continue to rely on coaching for ongoing support
• C. Terminating means ending the coaching relationship
• D. The client has altered their behavior, integrated these new behaviors, and feels confident about sustaining them long-term

Answer: (D)

Termination reflects the point at which the client has completed the change process: they have altered their behavior, integrated these new actions into daily life, and feel confident about sustaining them long-term without ongoing coaching support. This combination shows true maintenance and self-efficacy, meaning the client can continue the healthier patterns independently. The other options don’t fit because they imply no change, continued dependence on coaching, or only the procedural end of the relationship rather than the client’s actual status of sustained behavior and confidence.
