@Carole – Wow, no kidding! Hope I didn’t bring up any traumatic memories.

@Pamela – That’s a great visual! I’m a big advocate of “whatever works for you” when it comes to finding the right metaphor for resistance.

Susan, is it OK if my squirrel looks like that wild-eyed squirrel from the movie “Ice Age?”

Because I find it easiest to deal with resistance if I hold it at arm’s length and laugh in its face. And it the squirrel looks completely insane, it’s a lot easier to laugh at it!

Having been in a small attic room with a VERY agitated squirrel as a child, I can totally relate to this image. Getting away from it felt REALLY good! .-= Carole´s last blog ..A Duck, Pink Hair, A Potty Mouth: Do You Need Those to Find Your Style? =-.

Thanks Sandy – I was a bit surprised by that image myself when it popped in! But thinking about our inner space in that way makes a difference doesn’t it?

Great post, Susan. There is much more to be said about resistance than one Seth Godin can say in one book — glad to read your thoughts. I don’t think I’ll ever forget your image of the agitated squirrel in the 3×3 closet as opposed to the football stadium! Nice to be reminded that I can make room to just step away from the squirrel.
