Do I really want to change? Exploring personal barriers. Ep. 7

Friday, January 1, 2021

This month’s episode is focussed on Finn Tschudi’s ABC. This is a great tool for exploring change to a preferred pole of a construct and elaborating some of the barriers to change. I use two examples and talk through them in the podcast.
