So far I have a short list.

1) Simple awareness
2) Intentional breathing
3) Failures

I hope to incorporate more and allow others to fade into my subconcious as I progress in my healing.

What do you mean by "Failures"?!
If that were a coping technique - i'd be doing GREAT!!!!
There must be more you're not saying...

Tonight I had to practice. In the house accused of things outloud. I realized it is a control technique, yelled so children can hear and within a minute the child is yelling echoing the same words and then onto my acting out, details which are not quite accurate. So be it, I lost it shortly and internalized my affirmations. It worked. I feel at ease but admit I could feel the abuse but put it into a proper perspective. Even was able say they have not attempted to understand CSA but dismiss it as something that does impact a life. I actually am sad for tbeir inability to even try to understand how CSA and abuse and how it can destroy. But it is something I cannot dismiss I will live with it and heal. Coping is hard but can be learned. Thanks for all the insights.
