Unit 7.1 DB: Person of Color and a Police Wife

 You receive a call for a new client at your private practice. She reports being stressed and anxious over the past several months and identifies as a person of color. Upon meeting her in your first session, she discloses she has been struggling with the racial injustices that are happening. You validate her experience and make a remark about police reform. Your client becomes visibly uncomfortable and tells you that she is also married to a law enforcement officer. What do you do? How do you hold both of her experiences in your counseling relationship? Do you continue treating her?
