To work effectively with resistance, therapists need to be non-defensive. In your personal life, what is your initial response when someone is critical of you? When clients disapprove, what are you likely to think and feel inside? What are you apt to say and do in response? Please identify some specific ways you might want to address and manage your own potential defensiveness. Provide examples from your practicum experience whenever possible. Please make sure to protect client confidentiality by omitting any identifiable client information.
