Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relational-cultural therapy emphasizes the importance of connection and relationships, so a therapist would recommend that Yolanda be encouraged to share her feelings with another person, such as a trusted family member or therapist. This could help her process her grief and feel supported in her emotional experience. Being entertained and distracted or told that there is no reason for her to be sad or afraid would not address her need to process her grief and connect with others. While some individuals may choose to grieve privately, this choice should be respected and not imposed on Yolanda.
