This podcast is the narrated version of my article Working with Resistant Clients: 5 More Tried and Tested Tips.

Language and attitude is vital when helping clients transcend their self-sabotage during therapy.

In this episode I talk about:

  • From bad to worse
  • How to deal with client resistance
  • Reframe the idea of ‘control’
  • Allow for any response with greater choice
  • Use permissive language
  • Give credit to your clients
  • Encourage the resistance, then direct it towards helping them
  • Meeting her real need
  • Going with the flow that’s been given to you
