    Coping Skills are conscious, intentional, and direct responses to life events that cause us problems (stress, trauma, anxiety, pain…)
    Negative -
    Neutral -
    Constructive - any approach to stress management that is generally considered to be adaptive or otherwise positive. Examples include planning and strategizing, seeking help and support from others, Journaling, reframing the situation, and meditating. so they don’t provide the instant, easy relief that other, less effective methods do, but you’re addressing the root-cause of your stress.

    Money and Nikeeta chat it up and reflect on their QueerWOC weekend and excursion they just embarked on together. They talk about Nia Witherspoon’s compelling and gripping play “Messiah” and talk about how much fun they had at @brklynboihood & @iamrimarkable’s Joy Party.
