What Causes Challenging Behaviour?
In this episode of the Able to Care podcast, hosted by Andy Baker, we delve into the intricate subject of challenging behavior, with a focus on aggression. Andy breaks down the causes of such behavior into three primary factors: reflex, reactive, and intentional actions. Using practical examples and analogies, he explains how innate responses, environmental stressors, and learned behaviors contribute to aggressive outbursts. Listeners will gain insights into why people react the way they do, the role of inhibitors like consequences and values, and how emotional and physical stressors can shake up our 'bottle of coke.' Andy also discusses the importance of self-regulation and the challenges some individuals face in managing their emotions. This episode is a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to understand and manage challenging behavior more effectively. Tune in to learn valuable strategies for fostering positive interactions and promoting better outcomes in both personal and professional settings.
