6 Styles of Failing to Cope
Acceptance Is Coping
- Effective coping is learning to accept the problem.
- The rule is to learn to live with a problem when you can not fix it.
Perspective-Taking Goes Beyond Coping
- Perspective-taking is moving away from being stuck on the problem by moving to a more productive view of the situation.
- For example, a problem might be viewed as providing an opportunity, a lesson, or a chance to improve your skills.
- This is not reframing or covering because the problem remains the same.
- What changes is not the problem but your attitude about the problem.
- This attitude change leads to both coping and problem-solving choices.
Problem-Solving Is Beyond Coping
- Problem-solving is about fixing the problem while standing it as it is.
- Problem-solving faces the problem and overcomes it through better choices and work.
