Counselor’s Conceptualization of Problem
- The death of her husband caused her to become depressed and unmotivated to live.
- Yet she has spiritual ties, she referenced God, and him not allowing her to kill herself.
- She denies family involvement by saying her children “have their own lives.” Yet she mentioned her daughter is worried about her and wants her to seek help.
- She does not want to upset her children by killing herself and not attending counseling sessions.
- Nothing brings her joy and she eats a piece of toast for her daily meals.
