Great video. My triggers are clients/ patients who are not willing to do things for themselves that they are more than capable of doing.

Ohhhh I do get this ....this can be a big trigger for many. Maybe I can do a video response to it

Thank you for this video. I'm an lmsw at a shelter. I'm triggered when clients raise their voice or curse at me. My heart races and I really shut down. I usually sit and listen, let them vent, but I want to get better at setting boundaries and ending session early.

I have been LOVING your channel as an MSW student/new clinician working with kids, youth and family! Some of my triggers are: resistance/aggression, pushy parents, a clients desire for us to fix them, and lying!

Dating coworkers as well as dating older coworkers that you used to work with is one of my pet peeves.

You’re an incredible social worker!!!

I can definitely agree with you on the trigger of folks lying to you when you're trying to help them. At the end of the day, lying isn't going to change the reality of their situation.

I cannot tolerate lies either. You cannot help them if they are lying to you. Thank you for going over empath imbalance, as I too am an empath.

You are very welcome!

Thank you! One of my triggers are the clients that argue with everything!

Ugh! I hate when clients lie straight to my face 😒... check out my role play to see how I typically handle this trigger -> 1:07

My trigger is people that complain for everything and are looking for the bad in everything. :/

Definitely lying is one of them. Or the client's who want counselor/social worker to figure things out for them even after they know thats not how it works.

Do they teach you how to say “no” appropriately in an MSW program? I have a problem with setting boundaries and being assertive. I’m aware of this as one of my shortcomings and I’m really trying to work on it and research ways to improve in this area, but don’t exactly know how to start practicing and implementing it. I’m almost graduated with my bachelors, and I’ve been debating going into social work for graduate school and I know that this field is going to require assertiveness and boundary setting. Also, thank you so much for your videos. They’re really informational and I love your advice and honesty.

Thank you, Triggers waiting for me to give them all the answers and to do the work for them when they have tasks.

My triggers are when clients constantly interrupt when I am talking or when they attempt to "talk down" to me.

Hi! I’m a new subscriber and I love your channel! I am a recently graduated MSW . I would like for you to do a video about discharge planning AND another one about treatment plan. Thank you!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!

Great video requests, thanks!

What gets me is when someone discloses a possible adult or child protection concern and you havea duty to report it and then you realise it was a fabricated story, however you have to take what they have said as gospel and act on it. :(

My trigger is individuals thinking that I am the homegirl and saying things are not acceptable, because I come off as being very approachable and friendly.. I have had to catch myself as I instantly go into attitude mode and shut down. I have been working on immediately telling the client how their actions are unacceptable and ending our meeting if it continues,

My trigger is when the client uses their diagnosis as a reason for not doing something.

a trigger of mine is someone who is unwilling to see their role in the relationship. Being a helper is not the same as me working "for them". Entitled attitudes and demanding my time and attention are some big things I have to be aware of, so I dont react negatively.

YES!!! I completely agree! I would like to dive deeper into this trigger 🔥

those who just have excuses, and more excuses

this may sound silly but working as an outpatient therapist in a public school I have one kid who will knock / come into my room while I am with other kids/parents. he takes play doh, pencils, stickys.. whatever. next session I am setting those boundaries.

Yes, I would add a bit of empathy there. Ask him --- "I wonder how it would make you feel if someone barged into his time with you... "

My trigger is not taking responsibility for oneself. Playing the victim.

I agree. My trigger is when someone blames others and the system and spends so much energy and time vocalizing this yet not realizing their part in solving a potential problem. What is this called? Is there a term for this?

Oh man! Excuses was at the top of my trigger list! I got to thinking, with CBT in the back of my mind, could this type of behavior be considered a disability? IDK if that's going too far but I just get so frustrated when people make excuses for their subscribed victimhood.

great

Colleagues not taking trauma informed approaches and shame clients/students.

Whining!
