Crisis Intervention for a Client with Whom Abuse Happened - Essay Example

The crippling feelings are because the client is crisis-prone. Perhaps, previously, the client did not receive sufficient intervention when the abuse occurred. Her ego worked to help her deny the abuse and with time, she lost the strength to handle the abuse.  A plan to help the client gain confidence to live independently away from the shelter will start by validating her feelings. Validating her fillings will help her feel normal and affirm to her than any other person going through a similar event would feel like she does.

The other step will be to offer therapy in order to help the client understand how abuse happens, signs of an abusive partner, and alternatives for dealing with abuse before she gets into a crisis. I will give the client information. Such information includes where she can report abuse cases, domestic violence helpline services, the option of separating with her abusive partner until he receives the intervention, or the alternative of terminating the abusive marriage relationship. I would then help her decide on what would work best for her.

  Finally, projecting into the future, the client will handle a similar situation with courage and conscientiousness. She will detect abuse before it happens and avert it timely. This way, she will not be in a crisis because she will break the cycle of domestic abuse.
