A young lady is having severe difficulties due to her family environment and restrictions in movements due to spread of cases in her locality. She has strong urges to run away to another city and stay in the city and stay in the company of a close friend. Despite trying I am not able to help her think pros and cons as she gets very overwhelmed and agitated. I think I am not able to help her and have suggested other sources of help/referral. But she is insisting that I continue to have sessions and calls me repeatedly due to feeling distressed. I am feeling stuck, anxious and helpless. What can I do?
