Resistance In Therapy

I can understand how patients may have resistance to participating in therapy. There are so many reasons for resistance. Therapists should not pressure clients to talk. Therapist should remain objective and have a clear understanding to what is going on. Often times people feel ashamed or embarrassed which prevents them from speaking their mind and doing certain things. Risk stance may be challenging to deal with but therapists should be patient and allow families to share at the pace they are comfortable with. Therapists should allow families to start with opening up with easy Experiences and let them take their time to open about the more serious ones. If I also think it would be better if the therapy not focus too heavily on the past experience
because it can be overwhelming which may cause the family to shut down and discontinue treatment. It is important for therapist to observe careful on the nonverbal signs of the families and make sure that they are comfortable.
