  12. Communication • Becoming aware of the gap • Discomfort becomes greater than fear of change • Assistance sought when resources are inadequate

  13. Communication External demands 1) Event 2) Significant others

  24. CASVE Cycle Communication Execution Analysis Valuing Synthesis

  25. Valuing A decision made to narrow the gap identified in the Communication phase

  33. CASVE Cycle Communication Execution Analysis Valuing Synthesis

  34. Communication Review external demands and internal states • Has the gap been closed? • Have the negative emotions and physiological states improved? • Am I taking action to achieve my goal?

  35. CASVE Cycle Knowing I Need to Make a Choice Knowing I Made aGood Choice ImplementingMy Choice Understanding Myself and My Options Choosing AnOccupation orProgram of Study Expanding andNarrowing My Listof Options
