THE FOUR-FACTOR MODEL FOR CHANGING LIVES

BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA — When people look for change, they need to be supported by a model that identifies the significance of the quality of communication between client and their therapist. The ability of a wellness practitioner to demonstrate empathy, build rapport, and genuinely listen can facilitate change.The absence of these will block any positive alterations to their well-being and can disrupt positive communication.

Too often practitioners try to squeeze a client into a model of therapy that may not be suited for them and their personality, and this is no good for anyone. There is no one-size-fits-all model for working with people. However, the statistics below can aid therapists in developing their own strategy of promoting positive transformation within their clients. Positive transformation and communication are vital components for health restoration says Katina.

Client and extra-therapeutic factors contribute 40% to change.

Relationship factors account for 30% of the change.

Model or technique factors attribute 15% to the change process.

Hope and expectancy factors account for 15% of the change, according to Hubble, Duncan, and Miller.

Taking cues from the four-factor model of cultural intelligence (CQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ) can also help create a basis for communication. Both are made up of metacognitive CQ, cognitive CQ, motivational CQ, and behavioral CQ as relating to emotions and cultural contexts.

As wellness practitioners working with people to support their physical and emotional health, it’s important that we have clarity about our understanding of human behavior and also about a range of different counseling models. This cache will enable flexibility to choose a communication approach that is most appropriate to the person.
