"Is anxiety, worry or stress a problem for you or your child? Are moods or behaviors taking a toll on friendships, relationships, school or work?

"You have probably heard about the "ACE Study," showing that Adverse Childhood Experiences are correlated with a number of mental and physical health problems later in adulthood. "ACEs" can also be thought of as "early childhood trauma." If you experienced abuse, neglect, or household challenges growing up, it's important to keep in mind that you can develop strength and resiliency - at any age. When you choose to address early childhood experiences through therapy, you are making an investment in yourself that can change the course of your adult life."

""In the middle of the journey of life I came to myself in a dark wood where the straight way was lost" -Dante. If you find yourself in this position I want you to know this: there is a path from where you are to a place that is much happier and calmer. We all suffer and struggle at some point in our lives. But just as there is suffering in life, there is also a path from suffering to healing. I know this path well and I would be honored to work with you."

Coping Skills Therapists
With coping skills or coping mechanisms, we learn to overcome issues like stress, depression, anger or anxiety.
Pro-active coping involves dealing with a problem by using constructive coping activities such as planning, confrontation, self-control and restraint. Overuse of coping mechanisms, like avoiding problems or working obsessively, can exasperate the weakness.
Emotion based coping skills reduce symptoms by addressing our feelings e.g. discussing the issues, distraction, relaxation, reframing or humor can all help. But negative coping mechanisms, which tend to be impulsive, like denial, projection, rationalization, repression or wishful thinking can make the underlying problem worse.
Some coping methods are more like bad habits than constructive life skills e.g. drinking and drugs. Other examples might include skin biting, nail biting or hair pulling (trichotillomania).
If you find it hard to cope or are having trouble coping, therapists in 65201 can help develop constructive coping skills for children, coping skills for kids and life coping skills.
If you're looking for help with coping skills in 65201 or for a 65201 coping skills therapist, these professionals provide coping strategies. They include 65201 coping skills therapists, coping skills psychologists, coping skills psychotherapists and coping skills counseling.
