Yes, but not quite like that. Dodgy behaviour, leads me to draw conclusions re their general conduct at work to be honest. Which is precisely why you don't do that, because people think care workers are cunts as it is.
It is indeed! I am likely jaded and suspicious 16 years in this job but I seen a red flag.
Aye but like you do it between staff after work over a bottle of vodka or something. It was the description of the encounter itself which was a bit telling though -hence the question is that how you talk to someone you have a duty of care to not "should you have posted that". I don't have any water tight logic to win the toss though, other than it just isn't something you do. Bowing out
Aye, if drug use is involved then mental health risk, so grandiose/paranoid/magical thinking a tell tale sign. I am sure you know as well as I do not everyone in HC understands the subject though.
From what Mumbles274 said in his post, it was about far more than that. And, as someone who has two CTers on his caseload, I can say that the particular mindset that goes with it is EXACTLY the kind of thing that makes doing this kind of work frustrating. When you are trying to work respectfully and with care, and someone's trying to get a rise out of you, it's tough staying professional.
However
First time he tried to preech to me I shut him down straight away by saying id heard all about this kind of research and it had pissed me off when I did so if he didn't want to piss me off he'd have to politley stfu about what ever shit he was trying to tell me
Though it ought to be the colour and viscosity of runny mead.
Have you ever had every session hijacked by conspiracy bollocks? The thing is, it seems you are putting your shit onto something and imagining your own scenario that took place.However
Have you ever said that to a service user? "IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PISS ME OFF"
*or anything remotely like that?
i take it you haven't worked with people professionally before? CTers whole aim is to push buttons. They are trolls on here and in real life. There is never a point where they say ah games up, you're right. They are in the instances I've come across abusive and manipulative and frankly some of the hardest people to work with.
My role is a lot different from his, so no, it's not something I'd be likely to say.However

I have to say, I find the idea of a drug user CTer slightly amusing. How do they know what they put IN them? Or is it OK so long as the drugs aren't produced by Big Pharma, but the much safer and more benign organised traffickers and criminals?
Nail on head!!
Oh dear lord. In what situation would it be acceptable to basically abuse a position of power by using threatening language(albeit in a smug, passive aggressive way?) I have to put up with sustained abuse hours, days months at a time by the same person/people. I get into arguments, sure we all do. Often of the sort you get into with your mum though, there's still basically trust there.
you're in fantasy land i'm afraid. You have no way of knowing if it was abuse of power or passive aggressive. this is your stuff.
I read it, your choice of words was inappropriate for someone in your position, regardless of the tone of voice you used.you're in fantasy land i'm afraid. You have no way of knowing if it was abuse of power or passive aggressive. this is your stuff.
The client passive aggressive and abusive though. Being boundaried and reigning that in is 100% appropriate in my job. You might be a nice person but you cant project yourself into this situation. There is no abuse of power, i wasn't angry when i said it, i was quite clear that i have experienced the 'conspiracy' stuff before and had pissed me off, so for us to work together it's best left at the door, as i said, i was 'polite', a word no one seems to have picked up on? It was firm but straight with him. Now remember, there is no arguing with conspiracy, and i have 30mins at best to ensure they get their treatment needs met, not talk about whether his name is actually his fucking name
if he didn't want to piss me off he'd have to politley stfu about what ever shit he was trying to tell me
You sound a bit like you think you can do no wrong. I think you should maybe work on that?
We'll have to disagree about that.. You might not like how i described it, but you cant judge what actually happened based on 2 or 3 sentences on an internet forum. Although you are of course doing exactly that.
Yeah but he SAID polite
The stfu was polite.. I didn't actually say shut the fuck up
I didn't say that. Read my post upthread about getting into arguments. As I and MIB have suggested, it's the lack of reflection afterwards that is of concern.
