While we might know how to see a crisis coming or recognize it when it’s active, what happens to our clients, the individuals who were involved, witnessed, or heard about the crisis?
  1. They recover almost immediately
  2. They lose all concept of their coping skills
  3. There is no noticeable difference
  4. They are completely overwhelmed
Explanation
Answer - B - The nature of a crisis is that clients lose their ability to cope as they know it or attempt to apply current coping skills without any success. Both of these situations result in decompensation that can present clients very readily to therapy, whether or not they are prepared. While they are overwhelmed, oftentimes in crisis, they push those feelings away in favor of something that looks and feels more normal, even if it is only temporary.
