Safety concern
I have a client that I’m feeing increasingly uncomfortable in the room with. I’ve been seeing him for about a year. There’s only one other time I’ve had this feeling with a client and it was someone with what my supervisor thought was undiagnosed ASPD who had begun stalking me.
My client now keeps pushing some personal boundaries and last week asked me if I was alone in the office. Our clinic is small and I was, but I said I had fellow clinicians down the hall. He asked as he was leaving so I didn’t have time to process the question with him.
I‘ll chat with our clinic owner about this client but I wanted to get some peer feedback from other clinicians too. I’ve got good rapport with this client and I don’t think he’d hurt me, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m not safe.
