This is the second episode in the ‘Coping Skills for Adults’ series, today I’m focusing on relaxation strategies. It’s so helpful to have a variety of coping strategies because each one will work better for different times. This episode is all about tapping into yourself, working out what works specifically for you, ignoring what you’re told should work on social media or by other people. The beauty of the human race is that we’re all different so listen to yourself and tap into what works for you. 

The topics I cover in this episode are;

Thinking about what actually works for you, not what instagram or the outside world is telling you

Imagining your favorite place strategy 

What is tracing? And how can it help anxiety?

What actually is a body scan? And how can it help?

Progressive muscle relaxation 

The grounding technique
