Some of my clients are requesting for in-person /face-to-face sessions. I am not comfortable with this as the pandemic situation is quite bad in our area. How should I explain this to the client so that I can continue to help them without meeting them in person? Or should I refer them to others who are having sessions in person? What would be the best way to help the client? asked by [email protected], 3 years ago
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? asked by MareenaT, 3 years ago
I received a call from a friend regarding breaking the news about demise of the spouse to an elderly lady who got recently discharged after recovery from COVID. The spouse passed away due to COVID complications one week ago but she was herself in hospital and isolated and hence the family only kept mentioning that the spouse was in ICU but managing. The family is very disturbed and anxious about how to let her know. How do I help in this situation? asked by Ushashi, 3 years ago
