Show Notes:

We discussed the concept of SMART goals — they are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and based on a specific time frame.

We discussed the concept of HALT. Are you hungry, angry, lonely or tired? If so, coping will invariably be different, regardless of your age.

We also discussed several examples of emotional coping strategies:

Name it to tame it
Grounding - Our senses are real-time, so orienting yourself to what you can see, smell, taste, touch, or hear will give you a realistic view of your circumstances and environment.
Deep breathing
Meditation - Check out Rick Hanson, Ph.D.
Visualization
Ice — Allow a small ice cube to melt in your hand. It’s a distraction and a file for tolerating the “wave” of emotion.
Music — Listening to music or singing (various parts of the brain are involved).
Front-loading — Doing things in a certain way to conserve energy to allocate to other things.
Graduated exposure vs. Flooding
