There are plenty of healthy ways to cope with stress, but remembering them can be hard when you're feeling overwhelmed. Dr. Weiser encourages her clients to make a list of tools they can use to feel more centreed. "This can include deep breathing, relaxation techniques, listening to music, or spending time with your pet," she said. "Some clients even like to make a 'coping toolbox' filled with different self-soothing items, such as candles, silly putty, essential oils, positive self-statements, a journal, favourite pictures, and other grounding items."
