What is the Transtheoretical Model?

A model of how individuals make intentional  changes in behavior

 People who are successful at self-change were found to follow a predictable course through stages of change

 Each stage requires a different approach to change

 The process is not linear. Most people making change slip up at some point returning to contemplation or even precontemplation. Most successful changers go through the states 3 or 4 times before they make it to the maintenance stage for good.

 Developed by Prochaska and Diclemente.

 From his research on behavior change in smoking cessation, exercise adoption, and diet and other areas

List the 5 stages of change?

Precontemplation (I won't or I can't)
Contemplation (I may)
Preparation (I will)
Action (I am)
Maintenance (I still am)

They are planning to start doing the behavior in the next 30 days and some type of action has been attempted.

 Ambivalent feelings have been largely overcome

 They have a strong motivator

 They know what their barriers are and have come up with some possible solutions

 During this stage clients experiment with their possible solutions, discard the ones that do not work, and think up new approaches

What attitude to change is common for a person in the action (I am) stage of change?

They have begun doing the behavior and are building up to a target level (they have sustained it for less than 6 months).

 They have fully taken action and are doing healthy behaviors.

 Lapses are possible in this stage.

 Gradual change leads to permanent change.

 Heart of coaching program is focused on areas where client is in action stage.

What attitude is common for a person in the maintenance stage of change?

The person has begun doing the behavior and has maintained it longer than 6 months.

 The client is confident they can maintain the behavior and rates their confidence at a level 8 or 9 out of 10

Clients may be in a different stage of change for each behavior.

 The stage of change that a client is in for a behavior determines which coaching skills should be used.

What stage of change will most coaching clients be in?

Contemplation and/or preparation
For at least one area

 Coaching can help them reach the maintenance stage for within 3 to 6 month

What is a lapse and what stage does it usually occur in?

A lapse is a temporary abandonment of a behavior with a quick return to it.

 It does not lead to a significant alteration in the health and fitness benefits of the behavior change because the return to the behavior is quick

 Also defined as a single slip in a desired behavior that may or may not lead to a relapse.

What is a relapse and what stage does it usually occur in?

Relapses are extended abandonments of new behaviors

 leads to a reduction or disappearance of benefits.

 a return to an earlier stage of change.

True or False: Coaches should never work with clients in the precontemplation stage?

False
Coaches may be able to help clients move forward in areas where they are precontemplators when openings emerge in the coaching conversation

 As people make changes, they develop more self-efficacy and may then be ready to move forward on behaviors where they were previously in the precontemplation stage

What are some strategies you would use to help a client in the precontemplation "I won't" stage get ready to take action?

Show empathy: use reflections to show that you understand and respect their feelings and needs.

Small actions that are realistic and will give the client quick successes to help build their self-efficacy

To move from the contemplation to the preparation stage what steps must a client complete?

1. Identifying strong motivators
2. Understanding their challenges
3. Identifying possible solutions.

What are the early and late stages of change and what is the key difference between them?

The early stages are
Precontemplation
Contemplation

 The late stages are
Preparation
Action
Maintenance

 Goals in the early stages focus on cognitive tasks (thinking, feeling, goals)

 Goals in the late stages focus on action steps

What are the three key things needed for to move from the early stages of change to the late stages of change?

To move from contemplation to action the client must 1. Idenfity their motivators (personally compelling reasons to change)
2. Understand their challenges
3. Think of some strategies to work around their challenges

True or False: We want clients to tell us (rather than for you to tell them) what stage of readiness they are in.

What is the optimal time frame initially set for coaching?

A 3- to 6- month coaching program of weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly coaching sessions is usually ideal for most clients to establish new behaviors or habits.

 Most clients who come to coaching are in the contemplation or preparation stages of change

 Helping clients move from early stages of change to the maintenance stage can take from 3 to 6 months or longer. If the behavior is more challenging, 12 months may be required to help the client reach the maintenance stage.

What is decisional balance?

Helping the client identify their pros and cons for their behavior change.

 Important when the client feels ambivalence about making a change

 Pros: gains for self or others, approval from others and self
Cons: losses for self or others, disapproval of others or self

What three questions can coaches ask when people are ambivalent about making a behavior change?

1 Why do I want to try and change the behavior? (Pros)

 2 Why shouldn't I try to change the behavior? (Cons)

 3 What would it take for me to change the behavior ?(What's my strategy to overcome my cons?)

What is the optimal ratio of pros and cons for someone to do a new behavior successfully?

Pros have to outweigh the cons for someone to successfully make a behavior change

 It is important for people in the early-stages of change to find a personally relevant, specific and positive pros or motivators and to honestly sort out their cons

The belief that one has the capability to initiate or sustain a desired behavior.

How does self-efficacy impact behavior change?

The more you believe you can do something, the more likely you will do it; the more you do something successfully, the more you believe that you will be able to do it again. (opposite is also true)

 As a coach it is important to help clients set appropriate goals that they can succeed at.

To help client's increase their self-efficacy, it is important to help them set appropriate goals that they can succeed at. How can the coach determine if the goal is appropriate for the client at this time?

After the client sets a weekly goal, ask them: "On a scale of 0 to 10, how confident are you that you will be able to accomplish this goals this week?

 If they answer a 7 or above you can be reasonable confident that the client will succeed.

To be reasonably confident that the client will achieve their weekly goal, what score would you like to see on their confidence ruler?

A 7 or above.

 If the score is lower, you may want to ask the client what it would take to increase their confidence to a 7 or above. They may want to modify the goal to increase their confidence level.

Why is it important not to "over-promise and under-deliver" when helping a client to increase their self-efficacy.

The relationship between self-efficacy and successful action is circular.

 Successful goal achievement increases self-efficacy, which makes it more likely they will continue to be successful

 And lack of success decreases self-efficacy, which reduces the chance of future success.

What are the processes of change?

Prochaska and his colleagues identified the process of change that worked best for people in each stage of change.

The 5 cognitive process are
Getting information: finding out about the benefits of doing a behavior

 Being moved emotionally: using positive feelings about the benefit of change to ignite motivation

 Considering how your behavior affects others

 Self-image: seeking congruence between one's vision, values, and behaviors to enhance integrity

Define operant conditioning.

Learning through positive and negative reinforcement. It takes place when an instance of spontaneous behavior is either reinforced or discouraged by its consequences.

 Successful operant conditioning looks for the antecedent conditions that may trigger an undesired behavior.

Give an example of an antecedent condition.

An antecedent condition is something that may trigger an undesired behavior

 Examples:
A long drive to get to the gym
Driving by a favorite ice cream shop
A stressful day
Negative self-talk

 For example: Missing breakfast leads to overeating at lunch, which leads to feelings of guild, which leads to irritability, which leads to abandonment of any improved eating habits for the day with the end result an ice cream binge after dinner.

How can coaches help their clients with antecedent conditions?

When a behavior chain is identified, they can assist the client with altering a behavior earlier in the chain.

 It is often easier to manipulate the antecedents than to modify the consequences or behaviors.

 Ambivalence does not need to be completely resolved for clients to get started and be successful with change.

True or false: A client's ambivalence must be completely resolved before they can get started with change?

False.
Ambivalence does not need to be completely resolved for clients to get started and be successful with change.
 

What should the coach do if after 3 to 4 weeks the client has not made any progress on their goals?
