COPING WITH STRESS AND FLASHBACKS
A
Wellbeing and Coping Strategies Program was developed
by Michael C. Irving, Ph.D. over thousands of sessions
in working with survivors of child abuse. In the making
of the Monument Dr. Irving worked with the studio
workshop team to adapt his Wellbeing and Coping Strategies
Program into resource material and support activities
that would be helpful to participating survivors.
Some of that material
is presented here. We encourage you to use any
of these activities that assist with your own
self help.
These lists can be
printed off the Internet for personal use. Even
more valuable is to download the lists into a
text file and rework them so they are individualized
to your needs and personal lifestyle. You are
free to make copies of these strategy lists and
give them to a friend or one of your support people.
