Options for Non Responders Part 1

Options for Non Responders Part 1

On social media, a listener/follower asked, "How do you motivate a non-motivated non-responder with chronic issues?" This episode, Erson gives his answer which is realistic, but not easy to hear. These types of patients are difficult for the best clinicians. Maybe feeling better, but being stronger and more functional if you change every aspect and bad habit, and maladaptive beliefs is not an easy selling point.
