Possible trigger:

my mom and step-father used to fight violently...I'd be in my bedroom and what I would hear was yelling and stuff being thrown around, slamming into the walls. That included their own bodies slamming into the walls when they were fighting. It seriously triggers me. I kept telling myself to buck up, but I know that the tech's behavior is wearing on me

I'm sorry to read this, BethRags. I hope when you respond again here you have already discussed this issue (and your trigger) with your therapist. If a psychiatrist's and therapist's office can't be a safe place, where can be? They must make it a quiet safe place, if possible! After reading your story, I am almost certain that other patients are affected by the tech's behavior, too.

If the tech needs some kind of psychiatric or therapeutic intervention, she should get it.
