Healthy Coping Skills

Picture
After nearly a decade of being in the Social Work world, I've probably heard and used the words "coping skills" at least a million times. 
So what are coping skills and how on Earth are they going to help you through your loved one's addiction?
A coping skill can be anything. 
Literally anything.
We all have coping skills.
​Some are healthy, some are not so healthy. 
The goal of any coping skill is to ease whatever hurt we are experiencing. 
But the goal of a healthy coping skill is to ease the hurt, while at the same time promoting safety and wellbeing.
