Expert Strategies for Dissolving Your Client’s Resistance

When our clients are distrustful or skeptical of our work, it can create difficult barriers to healing.

To us, this can sometimes feel like resistance.

But is resistance even a valid notion?

What may at first seem like opposition, can often signal our client’s deepest struggles.

The difficult part is seeing beyond the “push back” to take in the important message our client is telling us, so we can work with instead of against their energy.

So we asked the top 20 experts in our field how they worked with their most challenging clients. We were surprised by the deep dive of their answers.

They gave us useful skills that can radically shift this kind of resistance and actually help reverse a client’s ambivalence to change.

That’s why we made. . .

Starting Today, This Program Can Change the Way You Practice

I . . . appreciate the need to see resistance as a vulnerability that we need to honour.

“This theme is very powerful to me, in being able to understand what might be fueling a non-responsive or shut down client. I also appreciate the need to see resistance as a vulnerability that we need to honour in the therapy room. I particularly liked how Rick Hanson and Pat Ogden both turn towards the body in different ways to explain how the client can be engaged in a mobilization experience. To me it is about finding the mechanism for the body and mind to shift-and this will depend on your client’s unique presentation and struggle. ”

Sachelle Le Gall-Singh, Clinical Psychologist

I benefit, my practice benefits, and most important my clients benefit . . .

“I live in Nova Scotia and have limited travel funds at the university at which I work. The series provided by NICABM gives me the rare opportunity to listen to the leaders in the field. As a result, I learn valuable information that would not otherwise be available to me. I benefit, my practice benefits, and most important my clients benefit from the knowledge and wisdom I gain from the series.”

  • The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the session you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients

Angela Lawrence

“I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened…it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time.”
