38 - Village Chatter: coping mechanisms vs. coping strategies, and an intro to the CEP Method

Awesome! Your kiddos know what they are feeling, but now what? What do they do with those feelings? How do we support them through their feelings while building their ability to do so solo one day? Enter coping strategies. Wait? Aren’t they called coping mechanisms, Alyssa? Aha, yes, there are coping mechanisms that help you feel calm again that are short-term fixes, but coping strategies are long-term, healthy choices. In this episode of Village Chatter, I guide you through how to build coping strategies, move from mechanisms into strategies, and why I think this is the most important and often most missed phase of emotion processing. You also get a sneak peek into the CEP Method! Want to have your questions answered on the podcast?
