Awesome material. I’m working in the SUD field and have resistance and denial all over. Practice MI tactics but this “use the resistance energy and guide it” is a very good tool I’ll be using. Thank you.
Just the video I needed, thank you so much; I needed to know how to pull when pushed, I knew that was a solution and now you've given ways to implement that principle, thank you so much!
Thank you Mark, really interesting listening to your videos. Your approach to therapy feels very familiar and your experience has given me much support already in my practice. I’ve not long joined you and your newsletter and pleased to be on board. Blessings 🙏
I'm a client who can't open up, I have trust issues. My current therapist swears by cbt, but it doesn't work for me. Relaxation exercises make me so angry. I have seen so many therapists over the last 20 years. I can't relax or even stay long enough to build trust. All I'm doing in therapy is getting more frustrated with myself. I'm so angry and I can't handle it. I'm an introvert and I just need to be left alone. I feel like a bug that is being poked with a stick. I'm ready to give up on therapy once more.
Sorry to hear that - feeling trapped by an emotion is overwhelming. What I hear you say you want the therapy to help you but are frustrated with it being ineffective, and perhaps not meeting your needs as an individual. The therapist could work directly on your resistance to therapy, if they are skilled enough to meet you where you are rather than fit you into some protocol that they learnt and apply to every client, and then blame the client for not responding to the treatment. Once that layer of anger goes away, you could work on deeper layers of what actually makes you angry irl.
this was great ... can you please share resistance video tips .. for me who wants to loose weight, but doesnt even though i really do want to.. but cant get myself to... i need help to stop the block engery to be changes into engery that can make a difference in my life.
hello! i know your comment is old.. i hope you managed to get over your hurdle. in my case, what helped ease my hunger pangs was replacing processed food with natural foods like veggies, nuts, eggs, low-fat cheese, meat.. good luck!
"Don't fight your clients.....work with what they give you".... and he's calling this a revelation!! Harry resists everything in his life and he's giving you the gift of seeing this by doing it with you. "Don't take it personal" Holy cow! What kind of a therapist would take it personal when the client is showing you honestly what's happening with him I hope there's a major shift in how therapists are trained because the whole approach I see from most is atrocious.
This is also very useful to me because I am a coach and I have two challenging clients who resist. Thank you.
