I just think one needs to butch up a bit if one is going to be a therapist (or attorney), or as another poster said - work for only those with dental phobias. Frankly the description from the OP just did not sound like a big deal to me - not particularly violent or threatening at all.

I almost want to thank and agree with this, barring one key expression. Toughening up, isn't to butches up.
A female T, dealing with a male client with an anger issue, would need to be grounded enough, to understand differences in fear. To say, you are displaying intimidating behavior in my office. Stop or risk termination.
BillX, raised a valid way to look at the hit table.
