2. Nonviolent self-protection if a patient cannot be calmed down verbally

2.2. Holding hands

If a patient grabs both of your hands, it is important to free the lower hand, with which we  then  hold the patient’s hand. We're holding both his hands and trying to push them down. We firmly hold both hands of the patient – there should be no risk of the patient attacking us with their hands then.
