APPROACHES IN COPING
WITH STRESS
I. Avoidance Approach
In this approach, people tend to run away from
the stress by denying the presence of stress
and by distancing from the causes of stress

Some people practice avoidance by directing

their action or resorting to bad/negative habits
like smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages, or
even taking illegal drugs, which they think is
helpful, but is worsening the situation and
causing more stress.

13
II. Acceptance-Action Approach

In this approach, you acknowledge and

accept the fact that stress is real, and that
stress has good and bad effects to a person.

.Acknowledging and accepting the reality of

stress and its effects would lead you to take
action to feel better or to resolve stress and
have a healthy life. Dealing with stress leads
to finding better solutions.
