It largely has to due with magic - Bonding with another, for instance, is said to slow the rate of change, particularly if one is to venture outside Aefenglom. Remaining within that city is allegedly the safest method as to delaying change. But of course, the full moon would also increase the rate of transformation.

I would suspect asking a Coven Witch as to specifically delaying changes may prove worthwhile - hardly a solution, unless that's being kept from us, but magic seems versatile enough here that they could, perhaps, offer temporary alleviation.
