Managing Resistant Clients

Managing Resistant Clients - Recording

This webinar presented psycho-education, techniques and tools for therapists to work through, understand and therapeutically challenge resistance in clients.
Resistance during the therapeutic process is natural and common and can be presented in different ways. Understanding where the clients' resistance is coming from and being equipped with tools to work through it can be essential for a healthy therapeutic relationship. Although this is not just about the client, being confident and ready can help to lower the therapists stress levels, improving self-care.

This webinar is from an evidence based / solution focused style. The webinar covers resistant language from clients, their behaviour such as repeating actions that were already discussed in past sessions and how to manage therapeutic conflict.

This introductory webinar covered topics including:
• Why do we resist?
• Is the therapist doing anything to add to the resistance?
• How to empower your client to move past their resistance.
• Researched and practiced techniques and tools for dealing with resistance.
• The fundamental problems of over-questioning - closed and open.
• How to manage "I don't know" and "Yes, but..." responses.
• Using language to manage and work through conflict and resistance.
