If a person can learn to modify the impulsive behavior they display in situations using this shoot-from-the-hip mentality and wait for the prefrontal cortex to kick in (in other words, think things through), they can modify the effect the situation has on their emotional state and, sometimes, the situation itself in a more positive manner.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is therapist directed, and to fully experience the entirety of this approach a person should do so under the guidance of a counselor.
