How can I help myself and change my behavior?
I've hit my head on walls and floors ever since I was young.  I sometimes still do it but I don't exactly know why, 

I have anxiety and I had a rough childhood but now I'll start to hit my head and sometimes not realize it but I don't know how to stop or even why I'm doing it. 

How can I help myself to change my behavior?
Behavioral Change,Anxiety
<p>Give yourself a lot of empathy and care for having had a rough childhood and realizing that life can be better than how you were treated when growing up.</p><p>Be patient with yourself too bc lasting change takes time.</p><p>&nbsp;Alternatives to hitting your head require constant gentle reminders to do these new behaviors, or if you've discovered a satisfying alternative in one moment, time is required for you to repeat this alternative until it feels natural.<br></p><p>Anxiety usually means someone did not feel well understood growing up and was rushed to comply with the wishes of others who were a regular part of their lives.</p><p>Anxiety lessens as the person starts to know and accept their wishes and needs as valid. &nbsp;Allow yourself to learn who you truly are in the spirit of accepting whatever you discover about yourself.</p><p>The behaviors will naturally change with your new understanding and self acceptance.</p><p>Good luck and enjoy this self discovery project!</p>
