For me the challenge has been to recognize that I don't have to act on my feelings. Feeling compelled and being compelled are two different things in my experience. I have worked to separate the two, and to respond rather than react (at least some of the time). During this last round of T with someone who practices Buddhism (I don't, but I do find a lot of the concepts and reading useful), I have found it useful to try to be more intentional in what and say and do, and things are better for me the more I can do that.
