People sometimes assume they are victims of their own wrong choices of behavior. By breaking this pattern of thinking, we show them that there is another logical level they did not consider. For example, when a client says, “I want to stop being lazy,” a response that assumes responsibility would be, “How do you know when to be lazy?” This presupposes that being lazy is a choice of behavior, an action that is taken by the person, not a force that is acted upon him. This inquiry helps the person move higher in the logical levels and realize that there’s a step they missed before the experience. Something had to happen before ‘being lazy’ had resulted in an experience. By taking a closer look at that earlier step, the person can then assume responsibility for the “cause” of the “effect”.
