Learning Goal: I’m working on a psychology discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
WORKING WITH RESISTANCE
DISCUSSION INSTRUCTIONS
As resistance is a natural phenomenon, understanding and working with it effectively is a key to successful consultation. Please complete the following:
- Identify a consultation situation that indicated resistance, based on your readings, additional research, or experience. Which behaviors indicated to you that there was resistance?
- List the suggestions provided in the assigned readings or other readings that might be useful in working with resistance—in general and in the example you provided.
- Discuss the strategies to address resistance you might keep in mind.
In your post, be sure to use at least two resources from the assigned readings or from your own research. If you would like more information about resistance, a good source is your Flawless Consulting e-book.
