You are a counselor working with a married couple, Bryan and Dustin, in which Bryan is an active duty marine for the US military. Bryan is on leave from duty, and the pair is seeking counseling for concerns that have arisen in their seven-year relationship. Each time they wish to start counseling to address their concerns, Bryan gets called to duty, which stalls any progress they could make. After his most recent tour and prior to his leave, Bryan was injured and has been experiencing physical pain. In the most recent session, Dustin has disclosed he is concerned with Bryan's recent increased alcohol use and its impact on their social life and relationship. Dustin was noticeably uncomfortable in discussing these concerns while Bryan seemed disinterested in the conversation. In this session Dustin also disclosed that over the last week when Bryan was drinking he pushed and hit Dustin when he was trying to help Bryan to bed. Bryan attempted to downplay the incident saying "it was nothing." During this altercation, Bryan told Dustin that he "just wants to get back to his unit" and "can't wait to get the doctor's okay" to return to service, "which was hurtful" to Dustin. You've assessed that Bryan is not at risk for suicide, and although you are not a part of the VA system, you are aware of certain criteria for active duty service (e.g., fitness to perform, chain of command, potential military conduct violations).
