There is no better choice than to fix that pattern!!!!

 Isn't it radically clear that when we solve our symptoms but fail to address the root cause and fix them that we make little progress and just get to repeat the same old emotional pains over and over and over?

"Avoiding things that trigger you isn't healing.  The biggest healing happens when you are triggered and instead of reacting or retreating within you [or into an "escape" of some sort] move through your old patterns and find a new path [pattern]."
