- Previously, on the page on agreement to change, we developed a composite 5 layer verbalization of the layers of resistance. This is what we wrote;
- (1) We don’t agree about the extent or nature of the problem.

- (3) We can see additional negative outcomes.
- (4) We can see real obstacles.
- (5) We doubt the collaboration of others.
