Lesson 22: Developing Your Personal Vision: Slide 4
When Do People Change?
- Humiliation, shame, guilt and anxiety are not the primary causes of change
- Guilt, shame, and anxiety can actually have the reverse effect causing the person to feel that change is impossible and undeserved
- Constructive behavior change seems to
happen when the person connects it with
something of intrinsic value, something
important, something cherished
- Finding powerful reasons to change happens when you find what truly matters to you
