3.    I am doing something about the problems that had been bothering me.
4.    It might be worthwhile to work on my problem.
5.    I’m not the problem one. It doesn’t make much sense for me to be here.
6.    It worries me that I might slip back on a problem I have already changed‚ so I am here to seek help.
7.    I am finally doing some work on my problems.
8.    I’ve been thinking that I might want to change something about myself.
9.    I have been successful in working on my problem but I’m not sure I can keep up the effort on my own.
10.At times my problem is difficult‚ but I’m working on it.
11.Trying to change is pretty much a waste of time for me because the problem doesn’t have to do with me.
12.I’m hoping this place will help me to better understand myself.
13.I guess I have faults‚ but there’s nothing that I really need to change.
14.I am really working hard to change.
15.I have a problem and I really think I should work on it.
16.I’m not following though with what I had already changed as well as I had hoped‚ and I’m here to prevent a relapse of the problem.
17.Even though I’m not always successful in changing‚ I am at least working on my problem.

24.I hope that someone here will have some good advice for me.
25.Anyone can talk about changing; I’m actually doing something about it.

28.It is frustrating‚ but I feel I might be ha‎ving a recurrence of a problem I thought I had resolved.
