Everyone has a set of coping mechanisms to deal with stress, these are often unconscious habits carried forward from an early age. screaming may have worked at 5 years old to get attention, but at age 40, it tends to be counterproductive. As people identify their stress reactions and mechanisms, one will begin to catch himself overreacting in the stressful moment and have the opportunity to shift into a healthier response. Over time, these new responses become habits and old reactions lose their momentum. Try a variety of responses until you find one that works and make it your new habit.
