In this episode, Shivaun and Sharon discuss ways we can assess and build confidence. The confidence ruler is a great way of assessing your client's confidence in changing their behaviour. Asking rating questions helps your client to explore what is helping them feel confident (eg previous success) and what is holding them back. By exploring external and internal barriers, we help clients get clear about what is holding them back. Once all the barriers have been identified, we can support clients to create a plan to deal with barriers to change and to enhance/strengthen facilitators for change. Knowing the way forward and anticipating obstacles builds confidence. Underpinning it all is a mindset of curiosity and compassion. We encourage trial and correction and support clients to see how small steps lead to big changes.
