What decision criteria or framework could Debra use to resolve this dilemma?
Debra Masters, a social worker in private practice, conducted an initial interview with Stephanie Railsback, a young woman also working in the helping professions, who was conflicted about her sexual orientation. Debra was a lesbian herself, open, but discreetly so.

Her anxiety intensified to such a degree that she had to leave the interview to compose herself and decide what to do to resolve this dilemma.
