Question

III. Read the review of a psychologist and match the words in bold and their definitions So, I'm going through a family breakdown. My daughter and I argue day in, day out. That's why I came to see Miss Lidenberg. I presented with my family problem and spoke about how it's taking its toll on all aspects of my life. I'm quite a reserved person; that's why it was difficult for me to talk openly about my issue at first. But Miss Lidenberg suggested several stages for our discussion: from small things to bigger problems. And it worked so well! She is such a genuine person that I can't even imagine a better psychologist!
