For meaningful change to occur, several key factors must align: awareness, motivation, competence, and supportive relationships. Awareness is the first step, as individuals must recognize the need for change. This often involves realizing that certain behaviors and thoughts are maladaptive to their current environment. Experiencing these maladaptive patterns within their relevant context creates the necessary awareness for change.
Motivation follows awareness, as individuals must feel a genuine desire to change. This drive can come from an internal source, such as personal growth, or an external source, such as achieving success in a sport.
Competence is critical for change. Individuals must possess the necessary skills and abilities to implement new behaviors effectively. When people believe in their competence, their confidence grows, making change more achievable.
Finally, supportive relationships are essential. Humans are social beings who thrive on connection and support. In a therapeutic setting, a meaningful relationship between the client and the therapist is vital. A person-centered approach, characterized by genuine and empathetic interactions, fosters this crucial connection.
