Pathway to Change

Michael Johnson illustrates how most in recovery think other people or things cause them to have specific emotions and feelings. These emotions and feelings can lead to negative behaviors, that eventually cause problems and lead to negative consequences. Johnson demonstrates the Pathway to Change by taking the viewer through a series of examples and analogies, as he lists a person's emotions, behavior and feelings under columns titled "problems" and "solutions." His demonstration clearly explains how a person can limit or eliminate negative consequences and begin to have a realistic perception about the people or things in their life.
