Abstract

Freud once described resistance in "The Dynamics of transference"[1], arguing that resistance comes with therapy. Every association and every behavior of the patient in therapy needs to be considered in the context of resistance, they also represent a compromise between the power of the self striving to recover and the power of the opposition. This is precisely the paradox of psychotherapy: on the one hand, the patient is suffering and wants help to take control of his or her life. But at the same time, they resist change. They unconsciously resist and fight against the change that is taking place. They are afraid to leave a lifestyle that has brought a degree of peace or balance. Thus, resistance continues throughout the therapy. Therefore, as the therapist helps the patient to let go of resistance and opens them to new possibilities, the process of repairing is the process that must accompany the emergence of resistance. Of course there will inevitably be pain in the process of repair and change, but this is the process of the therapeutic cycle.
