Welcome to Navigating Change!
Change is a journey—one that invites us to step into discomfort, curiosity, and growth. This card deck is your guide to navigating the six stages of Virginia Satir’s Change Model:
Status Quo
Foreign Element
Chaos
Integration
Practice
New Status Quo
 
Each stage includes reflection questions designed to help you:
 
Level 1: “Opening the Door” (Surface-Level Prompts)
These prompts are designed to ease people in, inviting reflection with minimal vulnerability. Think of this as a way to break the ice and create a sense of safety.
 
Level 2: “Stepping In” (Moderately Vulnerable Prompts) 
At this level, prompts encourage deeper self-awareness and insight, though they remain accessible and non-threatening.
 
Level 3: “Diving Deep” (Intimate, Highly Vulnerable Prompts)
These prompts are for spaces where trust is well-established. They open the door to vulnerability and invite people to share aspects of their inner world.
 
Change is one of life’s greatest constants—and one of its deepest challenges. Whether it’s a personal transition, a shift in your work, or leading others through uncertain times, change invites you to grow in ways you might not have imagined.
 
Virginia Satir understood that change isn’t just about external events. It’s about how we respond—how we align our thoughts, emotions, and actions in a way that fosters clarity, connection, and courage. Satir called this alignment congruence, and it’s the foundation for navigating transitions with resilience and authenticity.
