What is the most effective way to prevent an initial secondary behavior from reappearing as another secondary behavior?

For example, a client comes to you with a secondary behavior of making a fist while he is experiencing a block. During therapy, the client stops making a fist with each block. Weeks later, you notice he is tapping his leg instead.

How do you ensure that the secondary behavior will not emerge in another form later?
