I just received a call from a clients mother to inform me of why her
child is not going to make the change. It turns out that her daughter
does not want to stop because she says she wants to keep seeing me.
It was one appointment that lasted for an hour and a half in which we
examined benefits, bio-feedback, and did some trancework. We would make
some progress and then the will took over and resistance.
I provided some homework and just received a call that informed me that
the resistance is coming because of the desire to keep seeing me. She
enjoyed the session so much that she wants to keep doing it.
Now I can say that I have not run into this before that I am aware of.
It is funny because we set up another appointment to address the change
a different way now that we no what the benefit to resist is.
How many of you have had this challenge come into play with your
practice?
