we believe that we should direct our efforts to changing the way we characteristically deal with the difficulties we are attracted to. At present, the way we tend to deal with the difficulties we are attracted to is in the manner of the children we once were. Our pattern of response is riddled with some of the problems that a young person might make. For example: we over-personalise issues that we are not principally responsible for; we don’t explain our distress; we panic; we retreat into silence; we sulk.
