Resistance is simple. You're view of your world is one way (let's say, you believe you're depressed) and then, the sub starts telling you it's ACTUALLY another way (no, you are actually happy).
What do you do when someone tells you something you know isn't true?
"No I'm not! Look, here's the reasons and examples why..." etc and so forth.
It takes time for the mind to accept a new way of thinking, it's called homeostasis. Your body tries to keep things consistent: body temperature, heart beat, even beliefs. Start changing those (imagine getting thrown into an ice-cold pool on a warm, but not too hot, day) and you freak out. THAT is resistance, and it takes many forms. Anger, resentment, bitterness, anything negative, really. But even self-sabotage. When I first started subs, I would forget to set them, unplug them in my sleep, turn off the speakers, all kinds of things to keep the suggestions out. I still, to this day, have nights where I wake up trying to get away from the noise by covering my head with a pillow or whatnot. But yes, tapping helps immensely.
