maybe if you use the T-speak phrase "coping strategies" yr T will clue in that there was training on this back in T school, and will help you to identify some for yourself. Otherwise... well, your decision.  |
In the end, they always end up being DIY coping strategies. I think that's just the reality of the situation. Your therapist isn't always going to be there, so, yeah, there has to be some pretty intense work on our parts.
Ideally, the therapist and the client would work together to come up with some stuff, but it's us that has to
do them to make our lives better.
I've been there and this is tough stuff to be sure, but no one but us can make these strategies work.
