**Describe a time when you or someone you know experienced a crisis/trauma. What helped most in resolving the situation? How did others help? What happened once the crisis was over? Share some of your thoughts about these topics with your classmates and offer some insight on how you envision yourself helping a client through a similar crisis. Sometimes unresolved feelings from our own personal crises can hinder our ability to handle the crises faced by our clients. Now, I want you to think of any unresolved crises from your life that might hinder your ability to effectively help a client facing a similar crisis (this part is very uncomfortable for most beginning professionals. However, it is absolutely imperative at the very least that you visit any potential barriers to you putting the client first)?
