When a patient is resistant to treatment, it’s essential to approach the situation with empathy and patience. First, explore their perspective—why might they feel resistant? Work collaboratively to identify what the barriers are, whether it’s fear, stigma, or misunderstanding about the therapeutic process. Building trust and gradually introducing treatment at a pace that feels safe for the patient can help. Validating their feelings and offering education on how therapy can benefit them without pressure may ease resistance. Flexibility in treatment options—like considering therapy modalities that suit their comfort—can also be effective. You can always book a session with a psychologist at https://therapy.betterspace.care for personalized support.
