Workbook Assignment #6
Your client just told you that their pet dog was run over by a car. The client begins to cry. What do you do?
An accident puts people nervous scared and even anxious. A client just walked into my office telling me her dog got run over by a car and she tends to cry as she speaks of it. I would be in the position where I must control the client and as by make them feel better. I would begin to start a conversation with the client hoping they would stop crying and start talking back. Once we have a conversation going I would ask how it that the accident happened. I would ask the client how special is that pet dog and exactly why he is so special. Majority of people sometimes tend to feel blame for what just happened considering as owners they must be fully aware of their pet and taking good care of the pet dog. I would also bring up the fact of the good but as well as the bad side I will guide her through a few pointing tips that are very important in being an owner of a pet. I would try to make her feel better and tell her that every things going to turn up just
right and that she isn’t alone I believe she has family and as well she’s always welcome in my office in any case she needs to speak to somebody. I would make her forget about the accident just for a certain time and focus on her and her health and how it isn’t good to worry so much when hopefully things will turn out just right at the end of the day. I would also recommend some good medication for her as for the dog and some good vets near her area she can take her dog too.
I feel that the worker has sympathy towards her client and seems to want to help her thru her grief with her dog. She is concern about how she will be getting through it all when she’s not around. She makes herself available to her client. In my option I feel that she should write a journal about how she feels when she feels nervous about her feelings. I would recommend that she should express her feelings on to paper so she can later on share them with her worker on her next session so they can look at it a little closer and try to figure out what she’s needs help with coping.
