Answer preview
workers, including counselors, have the ethical responsibility of promoting clients’ wellbeing, being supportive, and sensitive to their feelings.
Worth noting, the interactive media enhanced my knowledge of the importance of reflecting on a previous session to identify areas to improve. Furthermore, as much as the client’s traumatic event may be challenging, I have learned the essence of emotional stability because this helps the clients gain confidence with the crisis counselor. With that, these two aspects were outstanding as I watched the interactive media.
