---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Who we are, what makes us unique. | Introduction | Program description | |
2 | Don't get mad, don't get trigger happy; Stop and slow down . | Attitude, “Triggers” to impulsive behavior | Problems that might get us mad, negative actions, “acting out”. Feelings/triggers we experience when “acting out”. Triggers help us stop and slow down. | Attitude: Why adopt an optimistic attitude, overcome common obstacles to being positive, poor self-confidence and negative thinking: healthy thinking what your emotions/feelings tell you. |
3 | Houston: We have a problem. | Continue Attitude, Add Define. | Think positive, Step Up/Fix it Describe facts: big/small, who is involved, importance, can we do something about it. Discuss goals: what you want out of problem solving. Group and individual problems. Should we begin with simpler and move on to harder problems. |
Define: Seek available facts, describe facts, separate facts from assumptions, set goals identify obstacles. Describe situations likely to lead to aggressive behaviors; Situations likely to lead to avoidant behaviors; Situations likely to lead to rational behaviors. Examples of group/individual problems |
4 | Things happen | Add Alternatives Add Predict |
What happens when you deal well with a problem. What happens when you don't deal well and get mad. |
Alternatives: Consider many routes to problem solving, generate alternatives, defer judgment to actions (think about it), practice coming up with alternatives, don't be afraid to fail. Predict: Judge/think about alternatives, consequences. Impulsive “acting out” & avoidant styles. Effective solutions and developing a solution plan. |
5 | Bright ideas for problem solving | Continue Alternatives, Predict. Add Try-Out. | “Brainstorm/Bright ideas” Practice generating alternatives and predict what will happen. Check if solutions work. | Try out: Motivation to carry out solutions, implement your plan, check up on results, reward yourself for trying to solve problems, trouble shoot, get help when you need it. |
6 | Practice makes us positive problem solvers. | Review all. | “Booster shot”. Problem solving role play. Tips for remembering. |
