Motivation

Until a person is motivated to change, there is not much we can do.​

It usually takes a significant crisis (“hitting bottom”) to motivate a person to change

Motivation is influenced by human connections

Resistance to change arises from deep-seated defenses

People choose whether or not they will change.​

Readiness for change involves a balancing of “pros” and “cons.”​

Creating motivation for change usually requires confrontation.​

Denial is not a client/supervisee problem; it's a lack of skill (on our part) problem

Why do people change?
