Private Practice Skills

Dealing with Angry Therapy Clients - My go-to Approach


Listen Later

I've found it challenging to find resources on how to navigate angry outbursts from clients in therapy, so I thought I would share a list of tools I've compiled from various resources over the years into a general routine I utilize to help clients through angry outbursts.

Of course, if you are concerned you may be in danger, or if your client's behavior is escalating, I encourage you to seek consultation straight away to make sure you're safe and also to support the best care for your client(s).
