2: MINDFULNESS-Analyzing Behavior

Going over our first two skills! Behavior Chain Analysis (when one has engaged in ineffective behavior) and Missing Links (when one fails to do an effective behavior).

• • Steps for Behavior Chain Analysis:

  • • Describe the problem behavior

    • Describe the prompting event that started the chain of events

    • Describe vulnerability factors that led to the chain being started

    • Describe the chain of events (excruciating detail)

    • Describe the consequences of the problem behavior

  • To change the problem behavior:

  • • Describe skillful behaviors to replace problem links in the chain

    • Develop a strategy to prevent vulnerability factors

    • Repair consequences

• • Steps for Missing Links

  • • Did you know what behavior was expected?

    • • What got in the way?

    • Were you willing to do it?

    • • What got in the way?

    • Did it enter your mind?

    • • What got in the way?
