Coping 101: Distraction

Too often when I ask how my clients cope they mention the mindless distraction of TV or social media. And that can be fine in moderation, but you need a full set of tools in your tool belt, not just a hammer. So in the coming posts I will be offering a variety of other distraction and coping strategies. These will include self-soothing, guided visualization, grounding and positive self-talk.
