An unconscious gesture intended to hinder therapy progression is known

resistance

Explanation:

Resistances in therapy are behaviors, cognitions or emotions that the client presents and that constitute obstacles to change. This range of resistances is as wide as the number of people on therapy. This resistance may even happen unintentionally, but it significantly impedes the progression of therapy.

Although not all patients have such oppositions, there may be times when the therapist realizes that the client / patient appears stagnant, refuses to report certain problems, or does not perform the agreed tasks.
