Discuss the ways in which trauma responses can assist/hinder accurate assessment, and approach(es) you might take as a counselor to address any challenges that arise. Post a clear and succinct 300-500 word response that demonstrates integration of, and critical thinking regarding, the information presented.

In the video, there is a clear emphasis suggested/insisted to be shown for inquiring about the mental and psychological conditions of a patient. It is important to ensure that there is no hasty generalization/decision made by a clinician about the tendency of a patient to become aggressive/angry. Therefore, there has to be patience with which questions must be asked by clinicians and answers must be listened to. There can be situations when feedback might not be obtained from patients because of hesitance/reluctance not to say the truth to clinicians.
