I am having difficulty conceptualizing where the line with "advice giving" is.

IMO we give advice when we engage in psychoeducation - which is encouraged. We give advice when we offer reframes - which is encouraged. I am intentional about not answering "what should I do?" questions with a direct answer, which I think is my line, but if I reflect on some sessions it feels like through offering reframes or psychoeducation there is an implication of the "right answer" being offered and I find myself having a hard time reconciling this.

Where is your line with advice giving?
