Getting to the Couch Ep. 10 Stages of Change
Manage episode 489970968 series 3642757
Before someone ever sets foot in a therapist’s office, there’s often a long internal journey already in motion. In this episode, Episode 10, of Getting to the Couch, we explore the Stages of Change model—what it is, why it matters, and how it can help us understand the push and pull between wanting change and actually making it happen.
From denial to readiness, relapse to action, we break down each stage with real-world examples and clinical insight. Whether you're a provider, a client, or somewhere in between, this episode sheds light on the invisible barriers that keep people stuck—and the subtle shifts that move them forward.
Change doesn’t happen in a straight line. Let’s talk about what it really takes to get to the couch.
