Rogers' Seven Stages of Process

Rogers' Seven Stages of Process outline how individuals change over time, especially in therapy or personal growth. They start with unfamiliarity or hesitation (Stage 1), then become aware of issues (Stage 2). As they explore solutions (Stage 3), they begin adopting new behaviors (Stage 4). With continued effort, changes become more natural (Stage 5) and integrated into daily life (Stage 6). Finally, individuals experience sustained growth and understanding (Stage 7). This progression helps us understand the journey of change, emphasizing that growth is a gradual, step-by-step process rather than instant transformation.
