Consciousness-raising, awareness. Making what is unconscious conscious. \n 2. Social liberation: any new alternatives that the external environment can give you to \n begin or continue your change efforts: No-smoking areas, low fat menus items. You can \n advocate for yourself and others. \n 3. Emotional arousal: become aware of your defenses against change. Emotions arousal \n works at a deep, feeling level. Important in early stages of change. Dramatic \n release/catharsis..sudden emotional experience related to the problem at hand. Can come \n from real life tragedies. Drunk driving accident. Easier to generate emotional arousal \n through film, public education spots,. The goal is to increase awareness and depth of \n feeling and to move individual toward action. \n 4. Self-reevaluation: thoughtful, emotional reappraisal of your problem…an assessment \n of the kind of person you might be once you have conquered the problem. Enables you \n to see how and when your problem behavior conflicts with your personal values. How do \n you see yourself if you change your behavior? What are pros and cons of overcoming \n your problem? \n 5. Commitment: Once you choose to change, you accept responsibility for change. You \n are the only one who is able to respond, speak, act for yourself. \n The 1st step is private. 2nd step is going public...announcing to others your firm decision \n to change. Even if you fail or fear embarrassment, public commitments are powerful. \n 6. Countering: Substituting healthy responses for unhealthy ones. Find the one that \n works for you. Going for a walk outside instead of a walk to the frig. \n 7. Environmental control: action-oriented. Restructure the environment...removing \n drugs, alcohol, cookies from your home. \n 8. Rewards: Punishment is rarely used for successful self-changers. Self-praise. Giving \n yourself a special present when you reach your goal. \n 9. Helping relationships: You don’t have to go it alone. You can ask for help from \n family and friends to provide support, caring, understanding and acceptance.","bbox":{"left":0.147451,"top":0.128864,"width":0.705716,"height":0.470303}},{"text":"There are many techniques for these 9 processes of change. \n increases success.","bbox":{"left":0.147451,"top":0.618864,"width":0.46604600000000007,"height":0.03272700000000006}},{"text":"Having 3 or 4 choices","bbox":{"left":0.6233,"top":0.618864,"width":0.17206200000000005,"height":0.015152000000000054}},{"text":"WHEN YOU CHANGE \n Change unfolds through a series of stages.

Precontemplation: There is no intention of changing, may deny having a \n problem….can’t see it. Resist change. Don’t want to be nagged by family, friends, co- \n workers about the problem. May place the problem outside of their control or \n responsibility. You may feel hopeless or demoralized.
