Another approach emphasizes coping skills and relapse prevention strategies for addictions and anger, with step-by-step planning and practice to manage urges and reduce harmful patterns.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Portia will discuss goals and preferences with each person and recommend approaches that fit their needs. The decision about which techniques to try is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
