How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? This episode of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast takes you on a journey through the Four Levels of Behaviour Change, a framework designed to help transform negative habits into non-issues. Hosts Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke share their personal experiences with changing behaviours, from yelling in relationships to battling media addiction.
They break down the four levels: unaware, aware with no control, aware with control, and non-issue, helping listeners understand where they stand on this ladder of change. The hardest part? Level two, where you're aware of your actions but feel powerless to stop them. Brad uses the analogy of a video game to explain how you progress through these levels, catching negative behaviours earlier and earlier until they're no longer an issue.
The hosts encourage listeners to pick one negative behaviour and apply this framework, making it a priority to work through the levels. They stress the importance of understanding that change is uncomfortable and requires effort, but it's not a lifelong struggle. Listeners are challenged to consider what behaviour they want to change by the end of the year, offering a powerful call to action to start the new year free from a negative habit.
With practical advice and relatable anecdotes, this episode provides a roadmap for anyone looking to make lasting changes in their life. Ready to level up your behaviour change game?
