Which of your safety behaviours have you kicked so far?

Such as avoiding eye contact, keeping yourself out of sight etc.


Since I started therapy 5 years ago, I've only managed to stop staying as close to whoever I'm out with in shops and social events, I can now wonder around by myself..
and I can look a person in the eye when I'm talking to them.

I don't always over prepare myself anymore either, like getting the correct amount of change out before I've even entered the store, or rehearsing what to say about 100 times before a social situation

Congrats Metal Heart.

lol, I used to do the exact same thing. Now that I think about it, I haven't been rehearsing things as much lately. I just wing it. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Fiddling and fidgeting and looking down, avoiding eye contact, not smiling, keeping my head straight, listening to my ipod AND wearing glasses are all things I have stopped doing.

Being too nice/not standing up for myself when I need to. Now I always make a point to stand up for myself and I don't back down.
