Hello and welcome to episode 110 of my pocket psych, the podcast all about the psychology of the workplace.
In this episode, we take a look at the concept of coping. Simply put, this is any of the things that we do in response to challenges, setbacks and adversity. Sometimes we use coping strategies and techniques intentionally. We decide to respond in a particular way. And sometimes the ways we cope with things going wrong are automatic, not really part of our conscious awareness.
It’s important to know that not every way that we try to cope with challenges it’s going to help us. Indeed, some ways of coping may actually make the problem worse. In this episode we take a look at how we can make sense of coping, and how we can cultivate new healthy and sustainable coping strategies.
