Behavior Chain Analysis
Behavior Chain Analysis
The Chain Analysis of Problem Behavior, or Behavior Chain Analysis, is a way to analyze a problematic behavior by looking at what caused it and then the consequences of it.
This is my own interpretation and how I use it to help myself. I'm not a therapist but having gone through the process, I think I offer a unique perspective as to how this can be applied to your life and to the difficult situations you find yourself in.
The BCA can do several things!
- It can help us follow the process of how we cope with a specific event
- It can help us analyze why we act the way we do
- The BCA shows us how our behavior affects the short-term and long term
- It indicates what coping skills work best for us
- It allows us to change our behavior and the way we react to stressful events
When stressful things are happening, it often feels like they’re happening all at once. It’s hard to pull ourselves out of the moment and see how we got to where we are.
That’s why the behavior chain analysis often happens after an event has already taken place.
Sometimes the event is small like a disagreement with your partner, and other times it’s something big like relapsing or doing something self-destructive.
The BCA lets you see the feelings and thoughts that lead you to that place so that you’ll hopefully be able to modify your behavior the next time you feel those things.
I've found it super helpful for dealing with big problems and little problems and I hope it helps you too!

Can I Get A Physical Copy?
Can I Get A Physical Copy?
Unfortunately, I don’t have the resources to print and ship all of my workbooks. If you want a physical copy you are welcome to purchase the digital file and then have it printed at Staples, The UPS Store, FedEx, or any other printing company as long as it’s just for your own personal use!
All of my products also have Digital Fill-In Enabled, meaning that you can fill them in straight from your phone/tablet/or computer.
Apps like Adobe Reader, XoDo, or GoodNotes allow you to “write” inside the PDF, so you can carry it around with you whenever you need it!

While I LOVE talking about mental health - I am NOT a professional. All of my worksheets come from lived experience which makes them unique but it's also important to note that they aren't a replacement for therapy. I'm not a therapist and I always recommend you work through my workbooks with one!

I love this packet! I wanted something visually engaging but not too busy. This fits the bill perfectly. I am using the materials with an individual client. He easily read the materials (HS degree) and discussed in the next session. He will be completing the worksheets to work thru incidents of argumentativeness with staff. These assignments will provide details about the qualitative aspects of his goal in this area.
