Try the ABC/X Model.
A: Actual Event
B: Behavioral Response (through the whole event & repercussions)
C: Cognition
X: Total Experience
A
B
+ C
X
There are many factors that influence a total experience for any family event (good or bad). It's important for those trying to help, and for the family to understand the many factors that influence their experience.
Facts to Consider
Even past events influence the total experience in future events.
Responsibility & guilt are important parts of someone's thoughts or cognition.
Cognition changes throughout an experience.
People handle crises differently. They can come out above them or destroyed by them.
Benefits of the ABC/X Model
- You can see one factor, and recognize that there's probably another factor interacting with it.
- You can change one part and change the whole thing.
- You can understand any part and the whole thing better knowing there are many influencers.
- It will encourage everyone involved to take “response-ability”.When people recognize they can grow no matter the situation, they are taking responsibility.
