emotional-resistance-diagnosis

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you diagnose why someone is resisting, so you stop using mismatched responses (like adding more facts when the issue is emotional or status-driven) and instead address the real underlying source.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Resistance breakdown: Captures what the person is saying and how they’re behaving in behavioral terms.
• Type classification: Labels resistance as Intellectual, Emotional, Political, or Practical to prevent category mistakes.
• Source excavation: Identifies the specific root cause and what they are legitimately protecting.
• Reduction lever selection: Recommends the distinct intervention that reduces each type of resistance.
• Engagement vs clarity: Determines whether the situation needs negotiation and genuine engagement or improved framing and clarification.
