When I work with clients under intense pressure, I focus on listening first. I start by assessing their level of distress or anxiety, prioritizing those who may need immediate support. I believe that sometimes people don’t need a solution right away; they just need someone to listen. We often have our own answers deep down, but the weight of problems can cloud our judgment. By listening without rushing to offer advice, I provide a space for them to feel understood and respected. If I feel their needs go beyond my skills, I don’t hesitate to connect them with trained psychologists who can offer specialized support. My goal is to be a compassionate listener first and a guide only when it’s truly needed. This is how I maintain resilience.

There will always be demanding clients. For me need to listen is important. Sometimes some demanding clients needs to be listened. Ask the client what exactly he or she needs to work onto. A Psychologists personality should be strong enough to balance his or her mental health first. And that it professionally inspite personally. Need of hour is to let the client take out his or her frustration. Then figure out how and what he or she is demanding your sympathy or empathy. So psychologist need to be calculative in dealing with such demanding clients.

When you are working on yourself like doing meditation, yoga ,pranayam and following mindfulness practices in your life ,you are in the situation to handle everything with your inner peace. Understand the reason of demanding clients, their pain and provide better solution with their comfort and by taking them into confidence.

To stay resilient with demanding clients, set clear boundaries and prioritize self-care to keep your energy steady. Break down tasks to stay organized and avoid overwhelm, focusing on one step at a time. Regularly remind yourself of your goals and why you’re passionate about your work—this helps maintain a positive perspective. Surround yourself with supportive people who can offer encouragement, and take short breaks to recharge when needed. Resilience grows when you pace yourself and remember that consistent effort matters more than perfection.
