My T has sometimes discussed resistance with me and how she views it in me. It's not something where she sees it as personal or as something that's bad about me or that it means I'm unwilling to do the work, because it's none of those things! She sees it as a natural part of the process and something to work with me about......when coming close to the more deeply hurt areas, it's understandably harder to talk about them, to find the words for it, because it does hurt! The resistance, if you want to call it that, is like self-protection, a sort of coping mechanism......it's also a form of control, or like a way that I can pace the process of telling the stories in my own time, as I'm ready. So, anyway, rather than seeing it as a bad thing (which would really deepen the resistance, for me), she works with it......and that helps wear it down!
