Welcome to the Head to Heal Podcast

Heads up! I am not a medical doctor and you should always seek help from a physician before beginning any new health regime.

On this weeks Episode Jiordana shares a behavioural psychology tool titled “Habit Reversal Technique”. This is one of the exercises you can do to replace maladaptive behaviours with more positive ones!

We cover:

- Theories in behavioural psychology

- Operant conditioning

- Nature of human behaviour

- 4 functions of behaviour

- What are habits

- Why habits are resistant to change

- Habit reversal technique

Habit Reversal Technique:

1. Identify the habit you would like to change

2. Identify the sequence of behaviours associated with that habit

3. What are the antecedents (the triggers)

4. What is the reinforcement? (What is the function of behaviour)

5. What are the negative consequences

6. What is an adaptive competing response? (An incompatible behaviour)

7. Get social support! (Tell a friend or family member to help you through this!)

8. REWARD YOURSELF!

(Think of adaptive rewards here, verbal praise “YAY ME” Self care routines etc)
