Stopping the Behaviors
 
Stopping starts with Awareness.
The first awareness is the recognition that the behaviors
are causing distress or are problematic.
Then we work on becoming aware of the behaviors:
when do they occur
what surrounds the occurrence
is there a cycle or pattern?

Then we move to:

Finding ways to interrupt the patterns.
Finding substitute behaviors.
Short circuiting the cycle.
We use several techniques to help decrease the behaviors.
