The Seven-Step Method to Facilitate Change in Therapy
Key Points
- Change is a natural state.
- One of the most difficult things a human being can do is to guide and advocate for their own change.
- I came up with a seven-step model.
- The first step is to accept that change is happening whether you want it to or not.
- Start where your client is and then segue into transition plans.
- The second step, accept that this is our starting point whether we want it or not.
- The third step, stabilize through engaging in appropriate treatment or community resources.
- The first, second, and third steps are about functionality.
- The fourth step is an instillation of hope.
- Most clients are going to have a degree of demoralization, so we need to challenge that.
- The fifth step focuses on functioning and targeting initial change.
- Create healthy habits, then work toward quality of life.
- The fourth, fifth, and sixth steps are about quality of life.
