Role of the therapist:

1. Ask the client, "Are you satisfied with the world you have created?"
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.

Beliefs:

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."
