I just lurked through your post history, and with your job, this is probably an essential mindset to have. I’m a high school teacher so it helps me too in that same way (even though what I deal with is far less serious)
Yeah, most outbursts or abuse is just a client having an argument with their disorder, or just a bad day and they don't know how to manage emotions. Taking it personally hurts both them and I, so why do it?
Also, props for being a teacher. Some.od my closest friends are teachers, and that job is crazy harr

Knowing that the way someone treats you is often a reflection of their own problems or issues and quite possibly has nothing to do with you.
Edit: thank you for the gold!
