The Psychology of Patient Change

The Psychology of Patient Change gives you an evidence-based framework to understand why people resist change — and how to communicate differently with each psychological coping pattern.  

Through this flagship training you'll be introduced to new, evidence-based ways of communicating with people whose coping patterns make change hard to kick start and sustain. 

As a health or medical professional you'll be equipped to:

• Understand the hidden coping patterns that drive resistance (e.g., unmitigated agency, unmitigated communion, avoidant coping, pessimistic attribution, rumination).

• Communicate in ways that meet clients where they are — without confrontation or exhaustion.

• Reignite motivation, restore connection, and protect your own empathy and wellbeing.

Karen’s teaching style blends clinical depth with clarity and compassion. She’s known for translating complex psychological concepts into language clinicians can use the next day — and for creating learning spaces that feel safe, reflective, and practical.
