In this 2-hour workshop, we will explore why clients are resistant and why that is a GOOD THING, and how to use that to the client’s advance! We will be exploring this resistance mostly from a positive lifestyle goal-setting perspective but there are similar tools for healthy thinking and emotional coping skills as well we will talk about briefly.
Here you will: Find out how you can best motivate a client, and when attempting to motivate a client is not in their best interest and can have the opposite effect.
