Everyone arrives at counseling holding convictions about how people actually change — where change comes from, what helps it along, what gets in its way. Most of us have never had occasion to put those convictions into words. These statements are meant to surface yours, so that we can begin from a shared understanding of what we're doing together.
Some of these statements are blunt, and a few of them resist a simple agree or disagree. That's intentional. If your real answer is “yes, but” — or “it depends what you mean by that” — the comment space at the end is for exactly that. What you write there is often more useful to me than the numbers.
SD Strongly Disagree · SWD Somewhat Disagree · SWA Somewhat Agree · SA Strongly Agree
Use this space for any statement you'd like to qualify, push back on, or explain. Note the item number.
