How do you reestablish care and a therapeutic relationship after being attacked by a client?
I work in a non-secure residential psychiatric facility and about two weeks ago I had an incident where I was attacked by client for the first time. Thankfully I was not seriously injured but it was still very frightening. Since the incident I'm finding that I am unconsciously on edge around him and he can obviously pick up on this.
Since he will be living at the facility for the foreseeable future what is the quickest way I can put this incident behind me?
