For me, the key has been to try to act rather than react. I needed to learn to take a step back and think about my motives before doing or saying anything. Self awareness is crucial. Journalling, reading self help books, coming here and working one to one with my counsellor have all helped me keep on track. I'm hoping that with a lot of practice, it will all become automatic for me!

Does this help answer your question?
