We all use coping mechanisms sometimes. To escape, to offer some distraction or to feel more calm. Coping mechanisms aren't always inherently bad - but they CAN be when they cause distress, don't solve the problem or avoid providing us with the real solution to a problem. In todays episode, Kylene discusses how coping mechanisms show up, how to identify what they offer, and think through replacements that are more beneficial.  Free Habit transformation template PDF: https://www.canva.com/design/DAHC5rgrKvg/9MDqDOmajKEtC9ZWpHPuuw/view?utm_content=DAHC5rgrKvg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h7da8f0b86b Supplements for Addict: https://us.fullscript.com/plans/kylenet-kylene-terhune-1531288982-addiction-recovery-support Supplements for Betrayed Partner: https://us.fullscript.com/plans/kylenet-kylene-terhune-1531288982-addiction-recovery-support If you are a betrayed partner and would like to connect with Kylene go to www.RecoverUcoaching.com for more information!  Sign up for the What’s NEXT online course for betrayed partners HERE: https://recoverucoaching.com/whats-next-course Submit Questions and Feedback to the RecoverU podcast here: https://forms.gle/uww5sWK1WP8T8dbc8  Join the free RecoverU Facebook page for betrayed partners: www.facebook.com/groups/recoveru2  For addicted spouses check our puredesire.org and soulrefiner.orgFollow Kylene:On TikTok: @KyleneTerhune On IG: @KyleneTerhune
