2. The client must make the decision to change; the therapist cannot do this for the client.

3. Realizing independent will is the primary motivator, the therapist must be careful not to insist upon change.

1. "Only I can change the world I have created for myself."

2. Change does not present danger.

3. "To attain what I really want, I must change."

4. "I can change."

5. "I am potent."
