Resistance means the refusal to accept or comply with something; it is hiding, denying or covering up an aspect of the self.

We all have a shadow side, we are yin and we are yang, we are male and we arefemale, we are light and we are dark; we are anima and we are animus; there is a duality that resides within us, which makes us who we are as a whole.
