In practical work, there are different views on the willingness to solve the problem between the client and the therapist. In practice, on the part of the psychotherapist, it is often seen that the client is not ready to change and does not understand this on the part of the client, since he declares (and often really intends) about his readiness to solve the problem.
The problem in the difference in the interpretation of the degree of readiness sometimes lies in the difference in vision of the direction of movement of work.
Movement From a problem without a clear focus Towards a result is not a sufficient willingness to change, although it is necessary. Thus, the solution of the client's problem is not associated with the achievement of any alternative result. Simply put, the client wants the problem to stop bothering, that is, to get away from the problem. To huddle in deeper, put on stronger armor, so that without any special changes, but the problem has ceased to "talk about".
However, solving a problem often requires qualitative changes in some area of life. And if the idea that the problem will cease to weigh down is pleasant for the client to comprehend, then the need to open up to something new, act / think / look differently, and often be different, updated, is not so tempting. By the way, achieving new efficiency and happiness is often the other way around - a frightening idea along with its attractiveness, since the client is scared to start enjoying life, to abandon the limiting beliefs with which he has lived for a long time, to start feeling life in a new way. The ability to apply super-efforts to achieve something new and necessary is called readiness for change in psychotherapy. And they mean a reversal to a new one, a movement towards a result, a conscious overcoming of obstacles and pushing oneself with great efforts.
The willingness to avoid the problem is often present and the client is right in this regard - he is ready to leave it. The willingness to find happiness is what people fear and avoid with all their might.
The second part of the divergence of opinions turns out to be as follows. The client is ready to get the result (for example, the goal is to make more money), but not ready becomes the one who is capable of it. That is, it does not take responsibility.
However, (in still few) modern trends in psychotherapy, the issue of readiness for change is in the “obligatory” program. The client is informed that it is worth raising it, and psychotechnologically help to find it or to strengthen it, which significantly increases the likelihood of achieving a result. For this, good methods have been found and developed that are included in the systemic work, increasing its efficiency.

To begin with, it is important to say a few words about A. Beisser's theory of change. In the original language, it reads as follows: change occurs when someone becomes who he is, but not when he tries to become who he is not … Change does not occur as a result of forced attempts by an individual to change or another person to change him, it occurs if the individual spends time and effort to be who he is - i.

Each psychologist has some "own" topic that arouses the greatest interest in him. For me, for example, this is development, movement forward, changes. Recently, I have been drawing particular inspiration in this direction from myths, analytical psychologists and, of course, my clients.
Unwillingness To Live
It would seem that there is nothing more valuable in the world than a human life, but, nevertheless, many at least once in their lives were visited by the thought of unwillingness to live. In this material, we will not talk about real attempts at suicide, not about clinical depression, and not about various personality disorders, in which the danger of a breakdown increases significantly.
