Do you feel like a prisoner wanting to escape? 

Escaper Behaviour is one of the behaviours in the Manage Your Emotions Programme. As an 'Escaper' you feel that you would love to be able to escape from certain situations, from people or even from yourself!

What Escaper Behaviour is;

You feel as though you need to escape from your situation or from certain feelings.
You may feel that you have no choice other than to see things through to the bitter end.
There may be times when you feel you don’t belong anywhere.
You may find ways of escaping through various ways. These might include; over eating, drinking, smoking, having affairs, gambling, taking drugs, obsession with sex, over working, compulsive reading, excessive need to be out of the house, avoidance of certain people or places, avoiding confrontations or creating confrontations, excessive fantasising or day dreaming.
You may feel the need to be in control, because you feel so out of control.
You may not have much patience with yourself or with other people.
You may feel exhausted most of the time.
You may not feel you have the ability to make yourself ‘safe.’
You may not really like yourself.


Understanding Your Escaper Behaviour 

All your emotions are trying to help you. Escaper Behaviour is very common. All of us need to ‘escape’ at times in our lives. However, if Escaper Behaviour is a dominant way of behaving then it may cause distress. It can lead to many different kinds of avoidance which if left unattended can undermine and affect lives.

Escaper Behaviour hides very important emotions
These are: Fear, Anger, Shame and Sadness

It would be helpful for you to understand each of the emotions which are probably ‘stuck’ under your Escaper Behaviour. Emotions often work in groups: your Sadness is connected to your Anger.

Changing
It will take some effort to make incremental changes your Escaper Behaviour. Perhaps it is the way you have always behaved and it makes you feel ‘safe’. Remember, no one can change you, except you. Moving away from Escaping behaviour means that you can confront increasingly difficult obstacles in an honest and self empowering.
