Behavior Change Assessment

Worksheet Description

This DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) Therapy worksheet, titled “Behavior Change Assessment,” is a structured self-evaluation tool designed to assist students in the process of changing unwanted behaviors. The worksheet prompts users to clearly identify the behavior they wish to alter and to outline the small, actionable steps they have already taken towards this change. This initial section aims to foster self-awareness and to break down the often overwhelming task of behavior modification into manageable actions.

The worksheet progresses by asking how the new behavior pattern has been reinforced, thus encouraging students to think about positive reinforcement and the sustainability of change. It further inquires about the observable results of these changes, both from the perspective of the individual and from the feedback of others in their life. This encourages reflection on the impact of their actions and the perception of these changes by peers and family. The final section offers space for students to consider any adjustments they might need to make to their strategy, allowing for adaptability and continuous improvement in their behavior change efforts. This worksheet is not only a practical tool for implementing DBT strategies but also serves as a means for students to engage in introspective growth and self-improvement.
