In Stage 6 Termination, which statement best describes 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. Termination 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)

Terminating means the client has fully integrated the new behaviors into daily life and feels confident they can maintain them long-term without ongoing coaching support. This reflects high self-efficacy and a low risk of relapse. The best description is that the client has altered their behavior, integrated these changes, and believes they can sustain them long-term. Options suggesting no change or ongoing reliance on coaching don’t describe a self-sustained, long-term maintenance state. Termination focuses on lasting change and self-reliance rather than needing continued guidance.
