How might you reduce relationship rapport with a peer?

  1. Being supportive and engaged.

  2. Being unaware of your power.

  3. Listening actively to their concerns.

  4. Showing genuine interest in their recovery.

The correct answer is: Being unaware of your power.

Reducing relationship rapport with a peer can occur when someone is unaware of their own power dynamics in the relationship. If a person does not recognize the influence or authority they may hold, it can lead to misunderstandings or a lack of empathy in interactions. This unawareness might result in behavior that feels dismissive or condescending to the peer, thus eroding trust and connection. On the other hand, being supportive and engaged, listening actively to concerns, and showing genuine interest in recovery are all actions that strengthen rapport. These behaviors demonstrate empathy, understanding, and commitment to the other person's journey, which fosters a positive and collaborative relationship. In contrast, failing to acknowledge one’s own power can create an imbalance that negatively impacts the relationship.
