Story Time! When Change Talk is Embedded in Sustain Talk... - MI Center for Change

Because ambivalence about change is quite normal, we often hear Change Talk embedded in lots and lots of Sustain Talk (argument for staying the same- sustaining what is). Today I read a children's story, Jon Klassen's "This Is Not My Hat" book, a fun example of a nugget of Change Talk buried in Sustain Talk. Can you catch it?
