It identifies the target behavior, prompting event, vulnerability factors, links between events, consequences, and potential solutions.

    Chain analysis is a tool used in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to understand how past behaviors occurred by mapping out events, thoughts, emotions and actions.

    Chain analysis maps out an instance of past behavior to see how someone ended up engaging in a target behavior. It traces the chain of events, thoughts, emotions and behaviors between a prompting event and the target behavior.

    The six key components of a chain are: the target behavior, prompting event, vulnerability factors, links, consequences, and solutions.

    ou read an upsetting news

    article, and suddenly two


    pints of ice cream disappear.

    Or you notice a slight bump on


    your cheek, and ten minutes
    later, you're hyperventilating
    on the bathroom floor.
    Our emotions and thoughts move so quickly that it can be hard to
    determine how we get from a pimple to a panic attack.
    I n Dialectical Behavior Therapy, we use a tool
    called “Chain Analysis” to understand WTF
    happened.

    A Chain maps out an instance of past behavior,


    allowing us to see how we ended up eating all
    the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream.

    Understanding what happened


    is the first step to solving our
    problems and making sure the
    behaviors we don’t like don’t
    keep happening.

    Over time, Chains reveal


    patterns in how we react to
    certain events, thoughts, and
    feelings. With this information, we can break the chain of
    ineffective habits, make wise choices in the future and, ultimately,
    find greater peace.

    performing a Chain while social distancing. We're offering a

    you have the means, please donate $20.00 to our Kickstarter
