Our nation continues to suffer from race-related disharmony, and as long as we continue yelling at each other with closed minds rather than listening to each other with open hearts, I see no real reason to expect us to overcome this foundational American flaw.

Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.
