Working with the Resistant Client: Strategies for Therapeutic Success
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: Providers often find themselves struggling with clients who seem “resistant” to change. The learning moments with these clinical situations often pass, with providers wondering what could have been done differently. At times, it may be easier to place blame on the client or system, than re-evaluate the therapeutic process. No matter how long one has been in practice, we all run into these challenging moments in treatment. The result of this frustration may be provider burnout, compassion fatigue, and/or labeling clients as “treatment resistant”. Techniques exist that can help providers re-evaluate their perspective on therapeutic change and progress. Attendees will learn innovative methods on how to set up goals for treatment that reduce the likelihood of resistance and increase adherence to the treatment plan.
