As a high school teacher, I have broken up more fights than I can count. It isn't part if my job description, but I felt confident enough to do it. The fact that I was willing to go outside of my job responsibility and potentially open myself up to injury does not mean that all teachers must do the same as me in order to be good at their job.
So you don't mind angry outbursts and threats to your safety. That's fine if it works for you. But that doesn't mean that others must operate the same way to be effective.

If I minded - I would not be a criminal defense attorney/practice the types of law I do. I would be doing something else that did not scare me - not just any particular client - but as a mindset of am I afraid of clients. If a therapist, whether social worker or other degree, gets scared because some client hits a table, I would suggest that person do something else for a living too.
