Your response is empathetic and insightful. Acknowledging the courage it takes for a client to seek therapy sets a supportive tone. It is crucial to validate the client's experience of pain and reassure them that it is a natural part of the therapeutic journey. Your explanation of the gradual process of dealing with pain, from identifying triggers to ultimately easing it, aligns well with therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The conversation around pain also allows for an integrative approach, highlighting God's idea of dealing with pain and suffering. Having an eternal perspective helps us find purpose in the pain. The pain we endure today is temporary, but the joy we will experience in the future is eternal. Yes, Jesus paid the penalty of sin and broke its power over us, but sin remains until His triumphant return. We live in an "evil age" (Galatians 1:4) and will endure pain and suffering. Revelation 21:4 gives us an eternal perspective, helping the client find purpose in the pain.  "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Addressing the potential intensification of pain when revisiting traumatic events demonstrates an understanding of the complexities of therapy, particularly for clients with PTSD. This school of thought leads me to think about safety in psychotherapy. Although safety provides the necessary basis that enables restoration, fuels exploration (and facilitates treatment progress, safety's misdosage (e.g., lack, excess), misconstruction (e.g., misattunement, misinterpretation), or misuse (exploitation, idealization) may hinder the healthy development of attachment, identity, autonomy, self/co-regulation as well as the ability to tolerate and cope with dangers, risks, insecurities, or frustrations (Podolan & Gelo, 2023). Your reassurance that this process is necessary for healing shows a commitment to guiding the client through their journey. Finally, emphasizing the importance of trust in the therapeutic relationship and the need for patience reinforces your role as a supportive and trustworthy counselor. Encouraging clients to reevaluate their feelings after a few more weeks indicates your willingness to adapt and respond to their needs. Overall, your response is thorough and compassionate, fostering a sense of safety and hope for the client. Podolan, M., & Gelo, O. C. G. (2023).
