Today in our A to Z coping skills series is Talk.
Some things don’t get lighter until they’re shared. Talking is one of the most underrated coping skills. Not just any talking, we mean real, vulnerable, safe conversations with someone who listens without trying to fix you.
Whether it’s with a friend, a therapist, a recording, or even aloud to yourself, naming what you feel can reduce the intensity by half.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
Start with: “I don’t know how to say this, but…” That’s often where healing begins.
