“Resistance” is a relational issue and a means for clients to protect themselves from providers. When I stopped thinking of clients as “resistant”, my entire approach and perspective changed

Omg I have a client I ADORE and I wish I could send this to them because they'd get such a kick out of it!

unfortunately I grew up in an environment where being emotionally vulnerable was really dangerous and now i struggle to open in therapy because it's exactly the same setting just that now it's supposed to be safe ❤️🩹

This screams abuse. People who want to escape but can’t. They’re repeating this pattern. Have you considered it?

What does resistance look like? I’ve been in therapy like 10 years, maybe I am resistant or I would have graduated therapy by now 😅

Half the time I only keep showing up because it’s a condition of disability benefits. The other half I’m doing my best to not be resistant cause I’m actually trying to get something out of therapy. It depends on the day

I realized I can replace my therapist with this and the like two other questions and responses they cycle through and just use them as journal prompts. So much saved time and money and just as effective 🙌

"resistant client" here🫡🤭 but lucky my therapist is so patient with me 🥰 and I could see an opportunity for trust very very slowly.

I’m glad they come back but sometimes it’s confusing! For me, me giving them that space each week is enough for them, that’s what I have to remember
