Description: I’m JD McGibney, and today I’ll be chatting with a guitar virtuoso. A true master of her craft, versatile in her style, proficient in her music theory, and even an airplane pilot on the side: The amazing and wonderful Gretchen Menn! Today we are going to be talking about Coping Mechanisms. For those who are not familiar with the term,Coping mechanisms are the strategies people often use in the face of stress and/or trauma to help manage painful or difficult emotions. Coping mechanisms can help people adjust to stressful events while helping them maintain their emotional well-being. It should be pointed out that Coping Mechanisms are different from Defense Mechanisms. Coping Mechanisms tend to be conscious efforts and actions individuals take in order to manage their emotional reaction to an external situation, whereas Defense Mechanisms tend to be unconscious “Knee Jerk” reactions. Healthy coping mechanisms can come in a variety of forms such as exercising, playing sports, using humor to de-escalate a situation, or even simply talking about a stressful event and your feelings with a supportive person.

Coping Mechanisms

Release Date: 09/16/2022

Description: Coping mechanisms are gateways to understanding what needs healing“Denial, perhaps, is a necessary human mechanism to cope with the heart aches of life.” – Richard Paul Evans, “The Christmas Box”Coping mechanisms are any tools and strategies we employ to deal with stress and/or trauma to help us manage our difficult emotions. They are strategies to shift us towards emotional equilibrium and balance. Coping mechanisms can be adaptive or maladaptive. Examples of adaptive coping mechanisms:Seeking supportRelaxation/meditationProblem solvingHumour that helps release energyPhysical activityExamples of maladaptive coping mechanisms:“Escape”Self-soothingNumbingCompulsions or risk takingSelf-harmApathyThe key difference is that adaptive resources seek to reveal and release the pain, while the maladaptive ones only serve to cover up and supress the pain. As Carl Jung put it, what you resist persists. Maladaptive coping mechanisms can in some cases lead to pathological expressions, such as eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, etc., some with long term physical ailments. Clearly some coping mechanisms can also lead to direct physical challenges, e.g. smoking, substance abuse, etc. Most of the time the beholder is quite aware of the impact their coping mechanisms have on their life, but find it exceedingly challenging to break those patterns and habits. Far more challenging is it when these coping mechanisms exist in our blind spots and we are unaware of them. These behaviours could include procrastination through social media or busy work, obsessing about external events, or something similar. The first step in any healing is awareness; to become aware of our patterns and habits and bring them to our own attention. Unless we have someone help us point them out, we have to take a very close look at ourselves to discover any self destructive coping mechanisms we are employing. We especially have to be mindful of the maladaptive coping mechanisms masquerading as adaptive ones. In my experience, the best way of releasing maladaptive coping mechanisms is to heal your core wounds. However, most of these have to reveal themselves through our triggers and coping mechanisms; these are your gateways to explore the path that leads to discovering your core wounds. Once I had healed part of my own core wounds, releasing my 30 year smoking habit was a breeze, it just let go because there wasn’t a purpose for it anymore. So, once we discover a pattern or habit, the process is to determine if is it serving or sabotaging you then to understand what core wounding you are using it to cope with. While you are healing these pains and shifting the suffering into acceptance and gratitude, you can shift any maladaptive coping mechanisms in to adaptive ones. To simplify; look out for what you are doing for pleasure (maladaptive) vs. what you pursue to experience happiness (adaptive). Now go foraging.
