Ethcis in Professional Counseling

Prompt 1: How will you address a situation where your professional boundaries directly conflict with a cultural action/request made by the client? Similar to the example in the text where the patient wanted to give the counselor a gift and stated that if he did not accept her gift, she would feel rejected.

Prompt 2: Do you agree that lack of self-care can lead to boundary issues? Do you worry that it will be difficult to transition after spending several years consumed with work, family life and education? How can you practice self-care now with a hectic schedule?
