The client works at a small, family-owned company. Her boss, although usually supportive, has made a number of insensitive comments. These comments have triggered powerful emotional reactions and thoughts of self-destructive actions. The client, who desperately needs the job but finds the situation intolerable, has made a firm decision to talk with her boss. The concern is that the boss will respond badly, the client in turn will respond with uncontrolled anger, and things will go downhill rapidly from there, potentially eventuating in a suicide attempt"-- |
