Stress Coping Skills Deck
Survive-and transform-your most intense reactions
We live in an era where stress is a way of life and can seem inescapable. Stress doesn't have to run our lives, and it can even be our friend, according to Dr. Faith G. Harper, bestselling author of titles like Unfuck Your Brain, Unfuck Your Body, and Unfuck Your Stress.
This 52 card deck offers exercises, reflections, and conversation starters to help us tackle the stressful situations and relationships in our lives. Two types of cards can be mixed together or used separately: Survive Your Stress cards provide short-term strategies you can use to find focus and purpose in difficult moments. Transform Your Stress cards offer longer-term strategies to change your relationship with stress, helping you shift your perspective, assumptions, habits, and self-talk so that intense feelings can motivate rather than overwhelm you.
Use on your own, with your partner, a friend, or your therapist to build confidence and trust in your ability to handle whatever the world throws at you
