Coping with Stress

ADG Therapy • 2 August 2023

Coping can manifest in various ways, with individuals typically employing either problem-focused or emotion-focused strategies.


A problem-focused approach involves actively seeking to change the stressor that is causing distress. However, this method may not always be feasible.


On the other hand, emotion-focused coping comes into play when a person must endure the stressor. This approach is centered on altering the emotional response associated with the stressor. In essence, if changing the problem is not possible, one can shift their perspective or feelings about it.


In therapy, clients are taught how to cope with stressors that are beyond their direct control. A licensed professional can assist you in managing both the stressors and the emotions that contribute to your distress.
