Jake and Heather break it down as they discuss treatment intervention. One of the points they dig deeper on is behavioral modification.
The belief behind behavior modification is that all behaviors can be observed and measured, and used as targets for change. Behavioral modification seeks to change or shape behavior through a set of stimuli and response actions. This works under the premise that the best way to understand a person’s behavior is to look at the reason for action and the consequences of said action.

Podcast Episode 23: Content versus Process with special guest Jesse Lott

Monday Dec 18, 2017
This week Jake welcomes returned guest Jesse Lott from Zephyr Wellness, to discuss deeper on the topic of Content versus Process.
It is not the language often spoken of in the world of relationships, but I think it is a highly relevant issue to address. It’s the idea of ‘how’ to do something, more than ‘what specifically to do.’ When two people can totally be authentic with each other giving each other space to be completely genuine to one another, this is what we call process, it helps communication and connection.
