Please write a reflection of feelings for the following scenarios:

Scenario 1: Colleen

Your client is an adult female who has just recently become aware of her partner's serious gambling problem. This awareness came to light when the bank called to inform you that there was some suspicious activity occurring with your savings/investments. Subsequently, you confronted your partner and learned about the extent of his/her gambling. He/she acknowledged that they have been gambling regularly for the past 3 years and they have lost nearly all of your savings/investments. During the session, you are very emotional as you talk about your current circumstances. You and your partner had spent the past 5 years saving and investing to buy your first home and now, you have "nothing". You share your concerns for the future and the challenges in starting over.

Scenario 2: John

"I'm feeling down right now. I just got word that I didn't get into the program I wanted at Durham College. Now I really don't know what to do. It just seems that I've tried everything. If only my high school teacher, Mr. Jones hadn't treated me so unfairly, I might have had the marks to get in. He really ticks me off. But maybe I should have worked harder. I just feel so confused about what to do next."
