Explanatory Answer

Statement B recognizes the person's struggles but also offers hope by suggesting there's an explanation. This sets the stage for the rest of the conversation.
Next, Statement A builds on B by introducing the possibility that past experiences could be affecting the person's current situation. It doesn’t jump straight to trauma, but it offers it as a possible explanation. Statement D provides a specific example of past trauma, such as sudden death of a loved one, which is connected to a current fear (anxiety about loved ones' health). This builds on A.
Statement C then encourages the person to understand their reactions rather than blaming themselves. It follows logically after exploring the possibility of past trauma and its connection to current struggles. Statement E circles back to the initial idea of strength (from statement B). It highlights the person's resilience by acknowledging the strength they've already shown in overcoming past challenges. This order creates a supportive and logical flow. It starts with hope, explores reasons behind the struggles, encourages self-compassion and ends by reinforcing the person's inner strength.
