This is a hasty conclusion because she feels like her problem will lead to her death and acts as if it is completely out of her control. His ideas about human nature are one of the causes of his problems. Some argue that beliefs about one's human nature influence every aspect of life, including relationships, one's view of oneself, and one's view of society (Velasquez, 2014, p.55). This argument actually applies to the client's case because her view of human nature is making her believe that she will end up just like her biological mother. To help the client believe that his future and his nature are in his hands, we could refer to Kant's beliefs, according to which the existence of the self is based exclusively on the ability to make decisions for ourselves (Velasquez, 2014, p. 100). . Perhaps, you could also tell the client about the existentialist view that human beings can do whatever they want with themselves because there is no such thing as human nature, we are fully responsible for how we end up and have complete control, we as human beings . they have freedom of choice as well as actions (Velasquez, 2014, p. 74). You could demonstrate to the client that he has a choice in his actions as well as human nature by pointing out that he has chosen to stop doing drugs and working as a prostitute for 2 years now, even though his mother has continued to live that lifestyle. If the client had no control over her human nature, she would not have been able to quit for that time or for any period
