Activating Prochaska’s Stages of Change in Therapy and Other Settings
Professional training with CE credits Not surprisingly, people are often ambivalent about psychotherapy, treatment and other structured methods of change and growth. Sometimes people are more than ambivalent; they are simply and adamantly adverse to change – what we call stubborn.
James Prochaska’s six stages of change are helpful in conceptualizing the stages of change, and the concretization principles of psychodrama are excellent for helping clients see and experience these changes and understand how they can apply them to their Concretizing these stages, rather than just talking about them, offers a deeper experience and helps people learn that good intentions are not enough; there is a particular process involved with creating and sustaining change.
