Diary Entry: Copings Skills
from Diary of “Crazy” Hosted by Briana Harris
I have been very frustrated with myself for handling some high stressors in my life the last couple of weeks and my year this year is about taking care of myself and fostering relationships so… I was frustrated. I have a lot going on and my family is struggling with something that we always know is coming but are never ready for, the decline of a loved ones health. In the past binge eating or “eating my feelings” has been my go to but I decided to process this and come up with better skills to use and put in my own skills kit, only to realize that I already had been using skills kit and was using better than I thought. I realized a couple of things I can add or change but ultimately I allowed myself the grace to be in the trauma and learn through processing my sh*t. Today, I walk you through ways to create a skills kit and challenge you to try it. Our bodies react to trauma and stress differently but why not try to create a safe plan and provide yourself with a coping skills kit. Try it out, I think you’ll appreciate that you did!
