Case 1: Mark, a 35-year-old individual, has recently approached a rehabilitation counselor seeking assistance. He is struggling with challenges at work and is emotionally burdened by his recent HIV diagnosis. Mark's goal is to navigate the complex feelings associated with his health status while ensuring he remains productive in his professional life. During one of the counseling sessions, Mark provides insight into his personal relationships. He discloses that he is married to Lila and occasionally has intimate encounters with other unidentified male partners. Mark emphasizes that he always practices what he believes to be "safe sex" by using protection consistently. Due to this practice, he feels that his partners are not at risk, and therefore, he has chosen not to disclose his HIV status to them.

Case 2: Maria is working at a community-based rehabilitation center. She has been seeing Jake, a 28-year-old man, for the past six months. Jake has a history of traumatic brain injury following a car accident and has been facing some difficulties with anger management and impulse control. During a counseling session, Jake discloses that he has been having vivid thoughts of harming his ex-girlfriend, Lisa. He mentions he knows her daily routine, including where she lives, and has even once stood outside her house feeling the urge to confront her. Jake shares this in a very emotional state, expressing both fear of his thoughts and resentment towards Lisa, blaming her for the breakup.
