Write down an example of how you used each coping mechanism in childhood. Then, next to each, give an example of how you use this strategy to try to control your world in adulthood. Note how each of these behaviors keeps you feeling like a powerless victim. Share this information with a safe person. • Doing it right. • Playing it safe. • Anticipating and fixing. • Trying not to rock the boat. • Being charming and helpful. • Never being a moment’s problem. • Using covert contracts. • Controlling and manipulating. • Caretaking and pleasing. • Withholding information. • Repressing feelings. • Making sure other people don’t have feelings. • Avoiding problems and difficult situations.</blockquote>
