Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The story that the client tells herself is her identity narrative, which is the way she understands and defines herself in relation to the problem she is facing. In this case, the client sees herself as having failed in her role as a sister, and this shapes her view of herself and her actions. The other options (A, C, and D) are related concepts, but do not specifically refer to the client's self-understanding and identity.
