16.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson. . .
Two weeks ago, Elias was in a terrible car accident coming home from Lusaka. He was injured,
but those in the other car were killed. He and others tried to help a mother and small child in
the other car, but they weren’t able to save them. Elias now has trouble sleeping as he dreams
of the accident. He has a hard time focusing on his job, seems withdrawn when he is around
others and is not his usual, happy, friendly self. What can you do to counsel him during this
time?
