How to Get Back Up Again Using Coping Skills

Falling down and getting back up
Learning to reframe our circumstances is one of the most critical coping skills we can develop in this lifetime. As therapists, we learn this art early. Reframing is the ability to step back and look at life events with a "wise mind." We cultivate a wise mind when we take information without emotion or judgment. Using our coping skills and wise minds, we allow ourselves to process information to see how it can serve us meaningfully. We can also see reframing and this wise mind process as putting us in the driver's seat of our emotions.
