Providing a Compass for a Lifetime of Journeys

The mission of Progressive Interventions is to help facilitate change through a better understanding of the purposes and motivations that support problematic behavior patterns.  Through education and collaboration, Progressive Interventions strives to provide a set of tools to help navigate the journey using an empirically-based intervention system.  Founded by Orange County Psychologist, Dr. Brett Patterson, our Behavior Compass© workshops offer a practical and easy to understand system for better understanding and guiding participants toward more informed choices for years to come.

Good, bad or necessary…behaviors of all types exist as a means to get our needs met.  Starting as infants, we spend our lives learning and discovering the cause and effect of our actions.  These experiences become the blueprints for behavior patterns; we learn to continue using behaviors that get our needs met and stop using those that don’t.  In order to efficiently guide change in any behavior pattern, we must first discover and understand what it is about those activities that continues to work.  This is true whether we’re dealing with our children, spouses, students, coworkers, employees or even ourselves.
