You must do the same.

Through role-playing, a person can learn how to address a challenging situation in a different way, addressing it head-on instead of avoiding it. Make time to get together with friends, take a yoga class or hike to alleviate stress. Practicing expressing yourself can also help you develop assertive communication skills.
