In this episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood parts of the coaching journey — client resistance. And not just how to spot it, but how to coach through it without shrinking, people-pleasing, over-teaching, or “fixing” your clients just to feel better.
Because here’s the truth most coaches never fully understand:
Resistance isn’t a sign something is going wrong.
It’s a sign transformation has begun.
Inside this episode, I’m breaking down:
- Why every human brain experiences resistance — even in the best coaching environments
- Why your job is NOT to “rescue” clients from discomfort
- How your own emotional state determines whether you coach powerfully or retreat
- The real reason clients often ask for strategies… and why strategies alone never create sustainable results
- The danger of “Snickers coaching” — when you soothe the discomfort instead of helping the client genuinely transform
- The framework I use to diagnose where resistance is truly coming from (and 99% of the time, it’s deeper than strategy)
Then, I introduce one of the most important tools we teach inside The Doctor Coach School™: The Resistance Funnel™
A four-layer model that reveals:
- the level at which clients present their issue
- the REAL level the problem lives in
- how to coach to the root instead of just the symptoms
Because coaching is not “giving someone better strategies.”
Coaching is guiding someone through their own internal blocks — even when it triggers discomfort on both sides.
This episode is an invitation to:
✨ Stop rushing to “fix”
✨ Stop making resistance mean something went wrong
✨ Build the emotional capacity to sit with a client’s discomfort
✨ Coach at the level where transformation really happens
When you do that, everything changes — the results your clients create, your confidence as a coach, and even how your business grows.
🎧 Take a deep breath and listen in.
This one is honest, uncomfortable, and freeing in all the right ways.
