So if you were a therapist what features or behaviors would you feel you would view as difficult to deal with??
Personally I think behaviors are in us for a reason but I could imagine a client not talking as being a challenge

Sometimes, it's not just behaviors. My T told me once that I always come to my appts., I'm always on time, I work w/in the guidelines of therapy, etc. (I forget the rest). Anyway, I think difficult clients, IMO, would be those who don't seem to want to try to get to the bottom of what's going on w/them, always verbally abusing the T, physically attacking the T, not paying on time, not coming to appts. on time, missing appts. w/o notice, making the T "drag" things out of the client. There are probably more small things, but those are the biggies for me.
