Think of a time when you faced something\\xa0really difficult\\xa0\\u2013 a time when you had to cope with something. Get a clear picture of that time in your\\xa0mind, and\\xa0think about the emotions you experienced.\\xa0

Now let me ask you this:\\xa0what was the approach you took for coping with that situation?\\xa0

Was your approach more pointed toward \\u201cmaking yourself feel better\\u201d by focusing on the emotions you were feeling? Or, did you focus more on the situation to try to change it or accept it?\\xa0

Today, we\\u2019re talking about 2 different types of coping that people use to move through adversity: emotion-focused coping and problem-focused or situation-focused coping.\\xa0

In this episode, not only do we unpack these 2 types of coping, but we dive into the nuance of what it means to cope in each way. Times when each type of coping works, and times when it doesn\\u2019t.\\xa0

Finally, we end with a couple of\\xa0practical, straight-forward, yet very effective strategies\\xa0you can use to support yourself when you\\u2019re going through something that is requiring\\xa0all of\\xa0your coping skills.\\xa0\\xa0

We so hope you find value in this episode, and we\\u2019d love it if you would share it with someone else who might need support at this time.\\xa0
