It is sad to read what Harley had experienced in life and he was born with and were never taken care of and combination of all the experiences that he came across even makes it difficult for him to cope in normal life. Harley would definitely benefit with psychotherapist counseling because this counseling is long term and he has long term issues. The basic counseling will not benefit him alone. For better understanding my client I would first ask him open ended questions that will help him give out more information as he can and also help him remember as much as he can. Talking out is one way of letting it out to some clients when you talk of something that is disturbing it helps ease the painful memories that he didn’t talk with anyone before.
