ora-04091, updating same table in trigger

Currently insert into a table is failing with error ora-04091 and it looks like after-row insert/update trigger is trying to update the same table, for example if we try to insert row into table and 1 column is empty then in trigger based on some logic we update that column for same row.
How can we fix this issue, Is there any workaround so that we can update the same table in the trigger?

Thanks
