An important first step in behaviour modification is enhancing motivation to change unhealthy behaviours. This can involve exploring the patient's values and goals, and helping them to see the benefits of changing their behaviour. Once motivation is established, the therapist can work with the patient to develop specific goals and interventions to change the behaviour.
