What an amazing month we’ve had with our listener submission episodes! As we wrap with this final episode of the month, today, we tackle a powerful listener question that resonates deeply: “How have you dealt with people and their resistance to mental health work in your job, especially in the rural community?” This inquiry opens up a rich discussion on the nature of resistance, its roots in our nervous systems, and how it can manifest in our lives.

Throughout the episode, you will learn:

• The essence of resistance and how it can hinder our healing journey
• Why conscious willpower alone may not be enough to overcome resistance
• How resistance can serve as a protective mechanism rooted in past experiences
• Patterns of resistance observed in rural communities and their cultural implications
• The importance of meeting resistance with compassion and curiosity
• Practical strategies for cultivating self-trust and internal safety

If you’ve ever felt stuck on your journey, or watched someone you care about avoid the very thing that could support them, this episode brings a gentle, grounded perspective on what may be happening beneath the surface.

I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,

J
