Do I associate words (happy, sad, disappointed, etc.) with my feelings or physiological responses to situations, and use them (spoken or in sign language)? Feeling secure in experiencing a range of emotions over time Do I experience a full range of emotions? Do I recognize each emotion as temporary and one of many possible emotions that I will feel over time? Seeking support through coping strategies Where do I land on the spectrum of mechanisms versus strategies? Moving on: solving the problem or letting it go Do I go back to try again? Do I engage in a new experience?
