Reflection

Instructions

Consider several recent situations in which you have used problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies. What were the stressors?

Discuss the differences between coping strategies in each situation. Provide an overview of emotion-focused and problem-focused coping. Based on what you have read about coping strategies, how would you handle the situations differently now?  The essential question you will be thinking about is, what do you value about yourself?
