Sample Clinical Question
A 34-year-old client discloses an attraction to their counselor and asks the counselor to share
whether the feeling is mutual. The counselor's most appropriate response is to:
-
Explore the client's feelings while maintaining professional boundaries.
-
Refer the client to another counselor immediately.
-
Disclose countertransference to normalize the experience.
Rationale: The ethical response is to acknowledge and explore the client's feelings nondefensively while upholding boundaries — not to act on or dismiss them.
