About This Course
When you're super emotional the thinking part of your brain essentially shuts down. That's why when you're upset you say things or do things that you later regret. I'm Emma McAdam, a Licensed Therapist, and welcome to The Coping Skills and Self-Care Course.
In this course you're going to learn what most people don't teach about coping skills- that they don't really work on their own. That's because coping skills need to be used in conjunction with emotion processing skills and self care skills in order to create lasting change. You'll learn essential skills to manage intense emotions, calm the stress response, and develop a self-care practice that keeps you from burning out.
This course is for anyone who's struggling with intense feelings of Anger, Sadness, Anxiety, Stress, or Discouragement. Most people only have one or two skills to deal with emotions- like eating, venting or avoiding them. Within the first 30 minutes you'll learn dozens of strategies to manage those intense feelings and help you calm down when emotions run high.
By the end of the course you'll know over a hundred ways you can self-soothe or cope with emotions. In the first section of this course you'll learn about four different types of Coping Skills:Emotion Coping Skills, Relaxation Skills, Sensory Coping skills, and Distraction Coping Skills. Each section will have an explanation, a list of skills, and an exercise you can try.
