Behavior-Change
Strategies

| a. |
Teach
her to ask herself what's going through her mind when she
feels discouraged and to try to correct the negative talk. |
| b. |
Suggest
that she schedule her sessions at the same time as her husband
so that they can come over together. |
| c. |
To
motivate him in the beginning, you documented each time
he came and kept a chart of his sessions posted in the gym.
When he attended 10 sessions, he received a copy of his
favorite magazine. |
| d. |
You
discuss with him the factors that may hinder his progress,
and you help develop strategies and skills to deal with
them. |
| e. |
You
