I agree rapport is key. Experience is important, but I think good training can make you better at rapport in addition to experience, and rapport is something that you can get better at via training and learning, before its all the real thing.

Legitimation- while you may not necessarily agree with the patient, but you can express understanding

Partnership- lets discuss it together

Respect

Honest concern
