  4. What is the Choice Theory? • A central aspect of Choice Theory is the belief that we are internally, not externally motivated. While other theories suggest that outside events "cause" us to behave in certain predictable ways, Choice Theory teaches that outside events never "make" us to do anything. What drives our behavior are internally developed notions of what is most important and satisfying to us. • Another major concept in Choice Theory is the notion that we always have some choice about how to behave • When people learn to apply the principles of Choice Theory, they are taught how to more consciously self-evaluate so that the behaviors they choose have the best chance of helping them achieve what they want in ways that are responsible. http://www.choicetheory.com/ct.htm

  5. The Ten Axioms of Choice Theory Axioms= 1. a self-evident truth that requires no proof. 2. a universally accepted principle or rule. • The only person whose behavior we can control is our own. • All we can give another person is information. • All long-lasting psychological problems are relationship problems. • The problem relationship is always part of our present life. • What happened in the past has everything to do with what we are today, but we can only satisfy our basic needs right now and plan to continue satisfying them in the future. • We can only satisfy our needs by satisfying the pictures in our Quality World. • All we do is behave. • All behavior is Total Behavior and is made up of four components: acting, thinking, feeling and physiology. • All Total Behavior is chosen, but we only have direct control over the acting and thinking components. We can only control our feeling and physiology indirectly through how we choose to act and think. • All Total Behavior is designated by verbs and named by the part that is the most recognizable.
