Resistance, the way I view it and the way I want you to view it, is that your resistance is a way for your mind to say: this is exactly where we need to go. This is exactly where we need to go, because it scares the living daylights out of me.
Ever feel like you’re your own worst enemy when it comes to therapy? You’re not alone. In this episode of 'Counseling On Demand', Dr. Fred Riley dives into the concept of resistance and how it can hinder your mental health progress. Resistance often gets a bad rap, but Dr. Riley explains that it's actually a sign you’re on the right track. It's that uncomfortable feeling that pops up when you’re about to tackle something big and important.
Rather than seeing it as a roadblock, Dr. Riley encourages listeners to view resistance as an opportunity for growth. He shares practical tips on how to identify and confront these mental barriers, making it clear that this process doesn’t have to be combative or scary.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or stagnant in your mental health journey, this episode is a must-listen.
