Hmm, I'm feeling a bit punchy today. Option B sounds like the easy way out, but who needs punishment when you can have a reinforcement party?

Extinction alone can be tough, but adding reinforcement to the mix is like having a personal cheerleader - it keeps the motivation high and the resistance low. Option C all the way!
