Why Coping Mechanisms? |
Take the above definition and broaden it when you’re thinking up coping mechanisms ideas because there are hundreds if you break them all down into individual actions. With that being said there truly is a coping mechanism for all.
That is one of our main focuses here at Burn Away your Burdens. We would like to leave you with the skills to use coping mechanisms in a healthy way that benefits your life. There have been countless studies on coping and how it relates to different aspects of one’s life. Coping is something that even children engage in. However for them it’s usually referred to as “self-soothing”. It appears to us at BAYB that as adults we have forgotten our ability to “self-soothe.” Don’t worry, though, we’re here to help with that! |
