#DailyCoping Strategies Round Up

I began a new project this week. Each day, on twitter, I do a series of tweets describing one of my coping strategies and talking about how it works, what it is esp useful for, where I learned about it. I am storifying these tweets, and collecting the links to the storifies in this post. I will keep adding to this as I go.

11/14: Make lists (a mental grounding strategy)

11/15: Create physical boundaries (a soothing strategy)

11/16: Let your body react (a somatic strategy)

11/17: Put it in a box (a visualization strategy)

11/18: Cold water (a physical grounding & distress tolerance strategy)
