I'm amazed - again - at how going to work on one trouble area can open my eyes to recognize other things I need to be aware of. So, first I begin to see that a problematic behavior is an emotional crutch. Then I begin to find some tools to help keep from picking up that crutch. That allows me to see more about the what underlies the emotions that I've been using it to manage.
But that wouldn't work on my own, because even though I recognized the behavior as a crutch, I lacked the tools to keep from grabbing for it.
