Show Notes
Episode 8 explores operant conditioning and Skinner’s key insight: voluntary behaviour is shaped by consequences. We unpack reinforcement and punishment, why reinforcement often maintains patterns unintentionally, and how clinicians can think more clearly about what a behaviour achieves for the client.
We also introduce concepts like shaping and extinction, framing behaviour therapy as a structured, measurable way of understanding and shifting patterns over time.
