About half of all patients in psychotherapy do not respond or even worsen in therapy. Why? They unconsciously use behaviors against treatment, or resistances, that hinder successful collaboration with the therapist. It’s as if they cannot allow the treatment to succeed. This can be frustrating and discouraging for both the therapist and the patient. How can you and your patient detect and manage resistance to therapy? How can you approach the person behind this resistance, the person your patient should be? To make therapy successful, it is essential to recognize and challenge resistance to treatment from the very first session. Approaching Through Resistance will help you turn the patient against their own long-standing self-defeating behaviors, regulate anxiety when strong emotions are activated, and engage and process feelings and impulses they previously avoided. By using the interventions contained in this book for managing resistances, you can enhance a collaborative, robust therapeutic alliance and mobilize the healing forces within your patient.
