IS THE COW PATH MODEL OF CHANGE™
RIGHT FOR YOU?
Welcome! I am excited to introduce you to the Cow Path Model of Change™. Our journey begins with the beginner model, designed for you to explore independently. If you find that it resonates with you and you’re looking for additional support or guidance, there are various service and program options available.
Many clients appreciate the simplicity and transformative power of this model, which has been developed and refined over the years to assist individuals in navigating a variety of personal challenges. Please note that the beginner model is educational and not intended for those with diagnosed mental health issues. This model has been embraced in both individual and group sessions to help people like you to understand and address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around specific concerns.
THOSE WHO BENEFIT THE MOST FROM THIS MODEL OFTEN:
- Feel “stuck” but are eager for self-discovery and personal growth
- Enjoy tapping into their imagination in a positive, directed manner
- Are curious about influencing their internal robot” (affectionately called “Bob”)
- Create an updated self-concept
- Want to create a better future for themselves
WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT THIS MODEL?
A Fresh Perspective
This model offers a fresh lens through which to view your experiences. You can visualize yourself within the model, ask important questions, and adapt along the way. It serves as a touchstone for your journey of self-discovery and self-improvement.
No Shame
We are not interested in delving into shame or regret. Our focus is healing and growth. While “old” cow paths represent unhelpful habits, the model emphasizes that these outcomes are realistic results of our innate predispositions combined with our exposure to social programming. Becoming aware of our patterns is part of the learning process.
Empowers You
Your past programming may not be serving you now, and it may get in the way of creating the future you want. When we begin to understand the learning needs of the internal robot Bob, we can begin to direct him to new ways of being. We must be willing to learn and to experiment. The process of change really can be an adventure when we allow ourselves to accept that Bob is merely a stubborn, lazy, status quo-seeking entity that we can influence through gentle, deliberate nudges.
Helps You Understand and Connect with Others
Everyone you come into contact with has an internal robot or a little “Bob” inside them! As you explore and understand your own internal robot, you'll gain a new perspective on those around you. This will make a difference in how you understand and connect with others.
EXPLORING
THE MODEL ON YOUR OWN
You can explore the beginner's Cow Path Model of Change™ privately in less than two hours. This independent journey is educational and designed to spark those “ah-ha!” moments, nudging you toward fresh thoughts, feelings, and actions at your own pace.
WORKING
THROUGH THE MODEL WITH SUPPORT
Remember, start your journey with the independent model, and see if it guides you toward addressing a specific concern or problem. It's perfectly okay to acknowledge that sometimes we all need new ideas and encouragement—this doesn't mean your off track! Working alone can sometimes mean that personal nuances and tailored strategies might be missing. Not everyone can formulate clear goals independently right away. And that's okay! You’ll learn more about this as you explore the beginner model.
Some clients find they can move through the independent process quickly, while others may take their time to truly embrace the concepts. Your personal goals, commitment level, and the specific challenges you’re facing will guide how we incorporate the model. Every service and program are designed to bring you back to the core of the model.
