Chain link analysis is a valuable tool used in DBT to understand our behavior. In her book "DBT Skills Training," Linehan outlines an 8-step approach to effectively utilize this technique.
Step 1: Describe the problem behavior
Step 2: Describe the events that led up to the problem behavior
Step 3: Identify previous factors that increased vulnerability before the problem behavior
Step 4: Detail the chain of events that led to the problem behavior
Step 5: Examine the consequences of the behavior
To Change the Behavior:
Step 6: Determine skills or behaviors that can replace the problem behavior
Step 7: Create a prevention plan for the future
Step 8: Take accountability for our actions and mend the consequences within our control
Remember, we are all human and prone to making mistakes. Embracing accountability requires bravery and grit. By embracing self-awareness, fostering personal growth, and taking accountability for our actions, we can navigate the path of growth and resilience. 🌟
