Correct Answer: G
Rationale: The correct answer is G as it aligns with the principles of systematic desensitization. This statement reflects cognitive restructuring by challenging and reframing the client's negative thoughts about confronting their fear. This technique involves gradually exposing the client to their fear while helping them change their thought patterns. The other choices do not specifically address the cognitive restructuring aspect of systematic desensitization.
Choice A addresses anxiety but does not involve cognitive restructuring.
Choice B mentions deep breathing, which is not directly related to cognitive restructuring.
Choice C focuses on the consequences of confronting fear rather than cognitive restructuring.
Choice D focuses on the client's current feelings rather than cognitive restructuring.
Therefore, choice G is the best option as it directly aligns with the principles of systematic desensitization.
