How to Change Behavior (Letting Go of the Log)


Listen Later

In this episode, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) Michelle Iversen and Brett Cushing discuss the topic of behavior change, which many clients seek help for in therapy. They talk about what makes it hard to change a behavior, but also give strategies and tools for better understanding why the behavior itself occurs in the first place and giving yourself compassion when it is hard to make a change. 

Listen to find out more about how therapists use a behavior chain to help clients better understand their behaviors and to hear why it can be hard to "let go of the log" when you feel as though you are drowning and still need that behavior to help you survive.
