Last night, a patient was really unstable. I tried hard to calm things down, looked for different ways to ease the tension, but it still escalated. He ended up throwing a chair at me, and I tried to handle the situation on my own. I totally wiped out trying to contain him. Result: a small cut on my forehead, some pain in my knee and shin, nothing serious. I had time to reflect afterward, to spot what went wrong. That kind of self-reflection is important, something we should do every day. I’m okay. The patient apologized, he realized he’d crossed a line. He’s now getting care that’s more suited to his state. I work in an intensive psych unit. We learn from our mistakes every day. And it’s important to do that kind of reflection in real life, not just in theory.

That looks nasty, I'd highly recommend leaning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to help with your job.

I’m a blue belt and it’s wild how helpful being able to distribute body weight and pressure on folk bigger than yourself.

We’re trained in certain techniques, but it’s really not enough. The problem is, I was genuinely exhausted , the previous nights had also been tough with other patients. It was 4 a.m., and I wasn’t fully clear-headed. I’ve learned a lot from this experience.

I was a bouncer for 4 years while a student and I’ve had a lot of hairy situations where I wish I knew BJJ back then, we got taught some restraining techniques and wrist locks, but most of it was how to verbally diffuse a situation with words and then just grab the guy and drag him to the door haha.

Yes wrestling with another human is exhausting especially if you don’t know how to efficiently distribute weight and control the individual. Training BJJ will definitely help with the gasing out as we call it. When you train BJJ you’ll train with lots of different body types, weights and heights it really does give you that piece of mind in certain situations. Plus you’ll learn some stand up too.
