Skill Criteria for Responding to Client Resistance:
1. Momentarily step away from the CBT change agenda.
2. Empathically explore the client's experience of treatment and you.
3. Validate clients' experience and "roll with" versus challenging their resistance.
4. Support clients' autonomy and elicit their motivation for pursuing valued directions.
