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' Scope & Category Theory ==== | ==== Steve Andreas' Scope & Category Theory ==== |
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. |

| === Scenario === |
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.

* **Step 3: Notice Submodalities** | * **Step 3: Notice Submodalities** |
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 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 (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). |

=== Explanation === | === Explanation === |
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. 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.
