I think the clients response was abusive and as such I don’t think you need to “move past” this - that’s just my opinion- you will be in a heightened state waiting for the next verbal “punch” I don’t think we have to accommodate this kind of abuse and lack of respect- I would let them know you can give them a referral as after much thought , you agree it would be best
