 The Self-Concept Model is used in therapeutic settings to help individuals reshape their self-identity by modifying limiting beliefs and aligning their behaviors with their values. This model is instrumental in personal development and achieving congruence between one's internal self-image and external actions. The Self-Concept Model is used in therapeutic settings to help individuals reshape their self-identity by modifying limiting beliefs and aligning their behaviors with their values.

 +==== Steve Andreas' Criteria for Self-Concept ====
 +
 +When he began modeling self-concept, he created list of criteria for a useful self-concept. A useful self-concept is:
 +
 +  * Resilient, durable, and lasting (there when you most need it).
 +  * Accurate (a good predictor of your attitudes and behavior for both yourself and others).
 +  * Self-correcting and responsive to feedback.
 +  * Unconscious (as in peak performance).
 +  * Connecting with others, rather than separating.
 +  * Free of self-importance, arrogance, and all the other signs of egotism.

-Steve Andreas, a prominent figure in NLP, developed the Scope and Category Theory to explain how people categorize their experiences and define the scope of their identities.+Steve Andreas developed the Scope and Category Theory to explain how people categorize their experiences and define the scope of their identities.

 Jane is a professional who struggles with self-doubt and feels inadequate in her career. She often thinks, "I'm not good enough," which limits her potential and affects her performance at work. Jane is a professional who struggles with self-doubt and feels inadequate in her career.

-    Jane examines how she represents the trait of being organized. She realizes she has a vivid mental image of her neatly arranged desk and a clear internal voice affirming her organizational skills. This representation is durable and long-lasting. She also acknowledges counter-examples, like occasional moments of clutter, but these do not shake her overall belief in her organizational abilities.+    Jane examines how she represents the trait of being organized.

She also acknowledges counter-examples, like occasional moments of clutter, but these do not shake her overall belief in her organizational abilities (Incorporating counter-examples is essential for a healthy self-concept. Without them, the self-concept may lack a comprehensive set of real-life experiences, potentially leading to unrealistic standards and perfectionism).

-By following these steps, Jane transforms her self-concept from one of inadequacy to one of competence. She starts by identifying her desired attribute and recognizing her current dependence on external validation. By comparing this with a trait she already feels confident about, she learns how to internalize the desired attribute using similar representations. Through the process of mapping across and future-pacing, Jane internalizes the belief in her competence, leading to a more empowered and self-assured professional identity.+By following these steps[[https://www.andreasnlp.com/store/nlp-training-videos/building-self-concept/|Building Self Concept andreasnlp.com]], Jane transforms her self-concept from one of inadequacy to one of competence.

 + 
 +  * **Scope**: Jane's scope initially includes only those contexts where she receives external validation. By expanding her scope, she includes more roles and contexts where she can feel competent independently. 
 +   
 +  * **Category**: Jane's initial category for competence relies heavily on external feedback. By redefining her category of competence to include internal validation and varied successful experiences, she strengthens her self-concept.

 Philosophically, categories are often viewed as fundamental structures of thought and reality. They help in understanding how we classify objects and ideas. Philosophically, categories are often viewed as fundamental structures of thought and reality.

He identified ten categories that encompass all possible kinds of things one can talk about: substance, quantity, quality, relation, place, time, position, state, action, and passion.+  * **Aristotle's Categories**: One of the earliest and most influential discussions on categories comes from Aristotle.
