Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
Rolling with resistance refers to the technique of acknowledging and respecting a client's resistance to change without directly opposing or challenging them. However, it does not mean avoiding all challenges or pushing the client towards change. The therapist can still gently encourage exploration of the client's ambivalence and help them to identify reasons and motivations for change.
