You are working with a client who has some social phobias, but who also shares that she really relates to animals. By bringing an animal into therapy, you would be:
  1. Promoting the idea that therapy is just like a petting zoo
  2. Saying to the client, “I heard you and am willing to support you”
  3. Reconciling that you never got to have pets growing up
  4. Making a gesture of reality-testing toward the client
Explanation
Answer - B - Pets have become an increasingly important part of many individual recovery processes. To bring a pet into therapy is not uncommon and can really assist in helping someone to begin to relate in a big way to others. Whether or not you had pets, this is a great opportunity for growth where clients aren’t always socially inclined.
