You have worked with a client for almost two years and the client has shown sufficient progress that she is ready to move on. As termination moves closer, she begins to decompensate, returning closer to her initial baseline. How do you proceed?
  1. Go back to square one
  2. Normalize some of the behavior as expected; help her cope
  3. Continue to reiterate your final dates of therapy
  4. Provide her with a referral to a grief group to process your termination
Explanation
Answer - B - While it can sometimes be hard to let go of a therapist or client after two years, it is a very normal feeling. After all, therapists depend upon their skills with people in order to build and maintain those important relationships. Normalizing will also help the client to understand that she will return to a higher level of functioning.
