Learn to step away from the path to CSAM
With the help of the ReDirection self-help program, it is possible to step away from your previous path to CSAM and make long-term sustainable behavioral change.
This program will teach you new skills how to respond to your own thoughts and emotions to stop yourself from using CSAM, by choosing how you handle different factors that push you towards using CSAM.
Understand why you are searching for and using CSAM
We have a natural tendency to justify everything we do. However, learning to recognize and challenge our own thoughts and choices will help us gain a new perspective of our life and actions.

These exercises of the ReDirection program will give you a better understanding of why you are searching for and using CSAM.
