Coping Mechanisms

Distancing Made light of the situation; refused to get too serious about it. Tend to forget the whole thing Self Control Tend to keep feelings to myself Tried to keep my feelings from interfering with other things too much Accepting Responsibility Made a promise to myself that things would be different next time Apologized or did something to make up Escape Avoidance Tried to make myself feeling better by eating, smoking, drinking or even using drugs Avoiding the Co workers on duty

Positive Reappraisal Changed or grew as a person in a good way Rediscovering what is important in life
