A client with somatic symptom disorder has been attending group therapy. Which of the following statements indicates that therapy is having a positive outcome for this client?

Choice A reason: Feeling better physically from talking reflects temporary relief but does not indicate deeper therapeutic progress. Choice B reason: Labeling others as having emotional problems shows lack of insight and externalization of issues.
