The document outlines the stages of change in the Transtheoretical Model of Change, also known as the Stages of Change model. The stages are pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Relapse can occur if motivation is lost or triggers are not avoided after initial success. The model was conceived in the 1980s by psychologist James Prochaska and encourages rethinking assumptions about readiness to change.
