Transtheoretical Model of Change (TTM) with verified solutions already graded A+

What type of model is the TTM? practice model what are the major concepts of TTM? 1. stages of change 2. change processes what are the interrelationships between the major concepts? sequence of change provides a framework for self change (need intrinsic motivation) What is the major focus of TTM? to promote and shape the client's approach toward the next stage of change, which results in a new set of challenges 5 stage of change in the TTM 1. precontemplation 2. contemplation 3. preparation 4. action 5. maintenance relapse common part of the process--not viewed as failure can happen anywhere in the process (least susceptible to relapse during maintenance) Precontemplation barriers > benefits person is not thinking about or intending to make change in near future strategies of precontemplation -provide gentle encouragement & information -avoid lecturing & intensive approaches (if they don't want to change you have to respect it) -express belief in person's ability to make a change contemplation barriers = benefits -ambivalence (having mixed feelings) -the person starts thinking about the problem or concern, weighs the pros/cons strategies of contemplation -help the person weigh pros/con ( a lot of times at the beginning it is not genuine and they only weigh the cons and you have to balance them out) -provide feedback to help resolve person's ambivalence (mixed emotions) preparation benefits > barriers -begins when the person recognizes the pros of change outweigh the cons -planning for change strategies for preparation (help develop a plan that will guard against relapse) -help person make realistic assessment of difficulties related to making a change -provide options for ways to go about change -help person think creatively about the most effective plan action benefits increase while barriers decrease -begins when person actually makes the change -still a fragile phase, with likely chance of relapse to occur strategies for action -provide support for behavior -listen and affirm that person is doing the right thing -help person make changes in plan if having difficulties maintenance benefits increase while barriers decrease -when person has maintained change for six months or more -relapse can still occur but it is less likely to occur strategies for maintenance -continue to provide support -recognize that people need time to make long-term changes -be prepared for the possibility of relapse -help person re-enter change process if relapse occurs Experiential Processes of Change 1. consciousness raising 2. dramatic relief 3. social liberation 4. environmental reevaluation 5. self-reevaluation consciousness raising experiential processes (getting the facts) increased awareness about the causes, consequences, and cures for a particular problem behavior ex. reading the whole 30 book before starting it--or providing awareness that inactivity is the same risk as smoking a whole pack of cigarettes a day dramatic relief experiential processes (pay attention to feelings) increased emotional experiences followed by reduced affect or anticipated relief if appropriate action is taken ex. experience neg emotions with old behavior & feel inspired by others who have made healthy changes ex. hope to fit in dress with whole 30 diet environmental reevaluation experiential processes (notice your effect on others) combining both affective and cognitive assessments of how the presence or a
