Question

Ashley Gilbert · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Clients should be allowed to explore spiritual or religious issues related to the disaster, as these can be important coping mechanisms for many individuals. It is important for the counselor to remain open and respectful of the client's perspectives, and to integrate these perspectives into the counseling process as appropriate. Referring the client for Christian counseling may not be appropriate unless the client specifically requests it or identifies as practicing Christianity. Redirecting the client may be dismissive of their concerns. Telling the client that the counselor cannot discuss religious matters may shut down important avenues for exploration and healing.
