Session 15 – Upgrade Your coping Strategies

Choose New Responses to Old Wounds – In this session you’ll learn about defence mechanisms, coping strategies, and how to create more helpful approaches to managing your responses.

You’ll be introduced to the idea of ’emotional wounds’ and how this relates to other emotional skill development areas.

Your body and breathing update is to get playful with ‘expansive breathing’ allowing your lungs to fill and empty as fully as possible within your natural range of comfort. This breath idea will improve your body scanning and other skills from the last few sessions.
