1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Episode 44 of the Becoming Centered podcast presents the third installment of the Processing Pathway, covering the technique known as &quot;chaining.&quot;&amp;nbsp; Chaining is a great way to add a visual element to cognitive processing.&amp;nbsp; It lays out a series of links representing a chain of behaviors and feelings that led to a child or youth having to be separated from their peers.&amp;nbsp; Once the sequence of links has been clarified, the key link that represents a realistic &quot;choice point&quot; is identified.&amp;nbsp; This link represents the point in the sequence where the client could have made a different choice that likely would have resulted in a better outcome.&amp;nbsp; Typical choice point behaviors include things like, asking for a check-in, asking to take space, or using some established coping mechanism.&amp;nbsp; An explanatory handout and illustration is available at https://www.bearclanllc.com/podcasts/the-processing-pathway/. &amp;nbsp; Becoming Centered http://sites.libsyn.com/479778/site <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/34817530/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/34817530
