Action--The Most Visible of the Six Stages of Change

If you are looking at this site for the first time, let me supply some context. For the past several weeks, I’ve been describing each of the “six stages of change” identified in the book Changing for Good by James Prochaska, John Norcross, and Carlo DiClemente.

This week’s article addresses “Action--The Most Visible of the Six Stages of Change.”  This stage is what most people characteristically consider the essence of change--"Let's DO something!"

Studying this book has opened my eyes to why beneficial change is so difficult!  The experience has been a paradigm shift for me--I now understand past successes and failures with clients far more clearly.

I hope that as you read these entries and their associated articles, you are able to see evidence of what stage you are in relative to improvements you desire to make.
