Resistance isn’t the problem, it’s the path.
Supporting you to get unstuck by working with (not against) resistance.
For the seekers
You’re feeling stuck on your health & well-being journey.
-
→ You don't know why you can't (or won't) do what you know you “should.”
→ You do (or have done) all the things and feel like you're still getting nowhere.
→ You're burnt out on doing all the things.
→ You want tools and approaches you can apply to what you're already doing to take care of yourself, whether you're doing it alone or supported by someone (therapist, coach, personal trainer, etc.).
For the health & wellness Professionals
You’re feeling stumped by your clients’ stuckness.
-
→ You notice that clients aren’t getting all that they could from your services.
→ You wish that you (and your clients) could enjoy the process more.
→ You have issues with clients sticking around.
→ You want to feel confident working with client resistance.
→ Most importantly - you are intrigued by the idea that befriending resistance could not only move your clients forward in their process, but make your work more easeful, effective, and fun.

I’m Virginia Jenkins, LPC
aka The Resistance Therapist (and one of the most “resistant” people I know).
With over 13 years of professional training and experience, I have come to deeply respect the resistance that lives in each of us. I created this project as a space for you to understand and befriend resistance as your greatest ally, whether in your work with clients or in your own personal journey. And for those who (like me) find yourselves here for both purposes, you are doubly welcome.
“Virginia's workshop felt close, practical and also vulnerable and human.
She explained and suggested exercises that allowed me to widen my perspective about resistance and invited me from a curious place to connect with my personal resistances and the ones that I bring at my job. Thank you for your easy, grounded and open energy.”
-Andrea Fajardo, somatic psychotherapist
