​​​Topic: Rethinking Resistance: Modern Perspectives on Resistance, Ruptures, and Retention

​​​Overview:

• ​Redefining Resistance: Understand resistance not as noncompliance , but as meaningful feedback about safety, fit, and unmet needs within the therapeutic relationship to be addressed.

• ​Why a Relational Approach: Reviews core alliance factors (agreement on goals, tasks, and bond) and the strong evidence linking alliance quality to outcomes, retention, and repair—often outweighing modality or technique.

• ​Power, Rupture, and Repair: Examine how power dynamics and misattunements create ruptures—and how transparency, meta-communication, and collaboration reduce disengagement.

• ​Repair That Strengthens Treatment: Learn practical strategies to prevent unaddressed resistance, improve meta-communication, and repair ruptures in ways that deepen trust and strengthen therapeutic relationships over time.
