THE CYCLE OF CHANGE
Start at your stage.
I use the Prochaska–DiClemente stages of change model to understand where you are today. Change can involve thinking it over, preparing, taking action, maintaining changes, and finding your way forward after relapse.
- Not considering a change yetWe can talk about what feels useful about your current pattern and what concerns, if any, have come up.
- Weighing it overWe can explore mixed feelings and what matters most to you.
- Getting readyWe can choose a realistic first step and plan for obstacles.
- Taking stepsWe can practice strategies and adjust them to real life.
- Keeping changes goingWe can notice what supports you and respond to new challenges.
- Relapse and learningIf use returns, we can understand what contributed, care for your safety, and decide what support would help next.
These stages form a cycle. You can revisit them as your circumstances and goals change.
YOUR GOALS, YOUR LIFE
Reduce harm. Build support.
A harm reduction approach makes room for goals such as reducing risk, cutting back, abstinence, or sustaining recovery. We will shape the work around your goals and clinical needs.
Relapse is part of the change process. If it happens, we can look at the experience with compassion, learn to manage shame and guilt, and use what we learn to grow and adjust your plan.
Begin with what is workable
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs helps me consider the foundations that can affect change, including sleep, physical safety, housing, health, and supportive relationships. We can set goals that account for those realities, instead of expecting motivation alone to carry the plan.
What therapy can include
We may use motivational interviewing to explore ambivalence, identify patterns and triggers, develop coping skills, and strengthen supports. The pace and focus can change as your needs do.
