Recorded in October 2021, this webinar series explores working with resistance in clients across 4 recorded webinars.
In these sessions, chronic resistance are discussed as a co-creation of therapist and client. We can compassionately understand resistance as inevitable and an essential focus of psychotherapy, and as a phobic avoidance of what is perceived to be intolerable by the client.
Learn how to anticipate resistance through specific assessment strategies early in therapy, how to recognize it in the session and in the therapeutic relationship, and how to work with resistance in dissociative parts of the client. We explore how to address resistance in a compassionate and gradual way without evoking further defence in the client.
