I think an important thing is making sure though that your client is closest to the exit. If fight or flight kicks in you want them to be able to leave rather than you being between them and where they can leave.
Seriously, this was such a great video and a great example of how to respond to a difficult client. As a new social worker, I’m relieved to hear that your experiences haven’t been as bad as you feared. I’ve had similar fears, but fortunately, haven’t encountered them. It can be so hard to remind yourself not to take things personally, but your example illustrates why it’s so important and why we need to remind ourselves to practice empathy.
Thank you for the info! Yes, it's great to know how to "leave work at work and not bring it home" and "to know how to stay calm and not emotionally reacting to any negative emotions one encounters in social work.

a client who ticks all the box’s.. best kind yeah?? seriously i wonder even a year on, have you looked back at what you are saying?? A difficult client??? how patronising you sound Empathy?? Rep our?? all you have done is talk about your self?? how you behaved, depending on how you were feeling… seriously
This word about not judging her is hogwash. Of course the goal was in mind but folks that talk about not judging, or wagging the finger at least internally is such a joke. Your judgement comes with making assertions and yours was that there was negligence bc she missed Appt.
I really appreciate the driver-passenger analogy. Essentially, that’s social work in a nutshell. Thanks so much for this video!
While I was getting my BSW, my professors stressed the importance of being safe. Keeping a clear path to the exit in case you felt you were in danger.
Feliciano Francisco for sure!!!! Always being aware of the room and its exits are important- thanks for sharing ✌🏼

Indeed pretty typical attitude of social workers "just shut up and trust the system that originally failed you"
