<p>These are some major coping patterns, common to the human condition.</p>
<p>You automatically and unconsciously call upon YOUR <a href="https://www.break-free-from-the-affair.com/coping-with-infidelity-types-affairs.htm">coping pattern </a>when life gets emotionally rough. That’s where you go. That’s what you do.</p>
<p>And, long, long ago, it worked. Your pattern seemed back then the best way for you to cope, considering a number of factors about you, your family and your world.</p>
<p>Your coping pattern is your default coping mode.</p>
<p>You use it time and time again, UNLESS, you become aware of your way to cope with intimacy and a part of you decides you want to try something different.</p>
