How do I handle anxious and demanding clients?

Anxious and demanding people are hard to be near, especially when you are still finding your footing. Their worry fills the room, and it is easy to feel like you are failing when really you are just absorbing what they carry. Most demanding behavior comes from fear, not cruelty. The person who wants everything perfect is often afraid of being let down again. You do not have to meet their fear with your own. Stay calm, stay slow, and let your steadiness be the thing they borrow from. Pick one simple line to steady yourself, something like this is theirs, not mine. Say it in your head when a client's tension starts to climb into your chest. You are learning a real skill here, and it comes with time, not all at once.
