Behavior Chain Analysis Worksheet

No. It’s just used to primarily address problematic behaviors. However, it can be used for any behavior the client wants to discuss. If it’s a good behavior, the worksheet can be used so that the client can find ways to reinforce their good behaviors and identify potential triggering events that may cause them to do the opposite. By identifying potential triggering events and problematic behaviors, they can determine what they can do to avoid or healthily cope to prevent them from enacting problematic behaviors.

The therapist and their client will sit down to identify and discuss the client’s behaviors (problematic or not). The therapist will guide the client when it comes to identifying their behavior and determining what caused their behavior, what the consequences of their actions were, and what they can do in place of their problematic behavior moving forward.

Yes, you may. You can fill it out as a self-reflection exercise if you think it will help you, however, it’s best that you see a therapist so you can cover more ground than you can cover on your own.
