Wish Outcome Obstacle Planbehavioral

1\. Wish or goal: A wish (e.g. "responding calmly when the partner asks a question repeatedly"). 2. Outcome: The most positive outcome of realizing the wish or goal (e.g. "both partners feel respected and happy"). Then the participant vividly imagines the outcome. 3. Obstacle: The most critical internal, controllable, obstacle (e.g., "feeling impatient"). Then the participant vividly imagines the internal obstacle occurring. 4. Plan: The participant answers the following question: What action can I take or what thought can I think to overcome the obstacle (e.g., "take a deep breath, take my partner's perspective, and answer the question calmly"); then he or she forms an "if" \[specified obstacle - when I feel impatient\], "then I will" \[specified action or thought to overcome obstacle - take a deep breath, take my partner's perspective, and answer the question calmly\] plan.
