Course Description

When youre super emotional the thinking part of your brain essentially shuts down. Thats why when youre upset you say things or do things that you later regret. Im Emma McAdam, a Licensed Therapist, and welcome to The Coping Skills and Self-Care Course.
In this course youre going to learn what most people dont teach about coping skills- that they dont really work on their own. Thats because coping skills need to be used in conjunction with emotion processing skills and self care skills in order to create lasting change. Youll learn essential skills to manage intense emotions, calm the stress response, and develop a self-care practice that keeps you from burning out. This course is for anyone whos struggling with intense feelings of Anger, Sadness, Anxiety, Stress, or Discouragement. Most people only have one or two skills to deal with emotions- like eating, venting or avoiding them. Within the first 30 minutes youll learn dozens of strategies to manage those intense feelings and help you calm down when emotions run high. By the end of the course youll know over a hundred ways you can self-soothe or cope with emotions. In the first section of this course youll learn about four different types of Coping Skills:
Emotion Coping Skills, Relaxation Skills, Sensory Coping skills, and Distraction Coping Skills. Each section will have an explanation, a list of skills, and an exercise you can try. In the second section of this course youll learn about Self-Care, creating habits that lead to a sustainable life. Youll learn to take care of your body and mind in a way that renews your energy, resolves emotions, improves relationships and helps you move forward with joy and purpose.
Coping skills and self care work together to help you handle all that life has to throw at you. Coping skills help you feel better in the short term, and can keep you from acting impulsively. They are essential when youre overwhelmed with intense emotions. But, to be most effective and to find lasting solutions to problems, they need to be paired with Self-Care skills.
So sign up now to begin learning right away. Who this course is for:
People experiencing Anxiety, Depression, and other forms of Mental IllnessAnyone who wants to learn skills to deal with intense emotions (Anger, Sadness, Anxiety, Fear, Frustration)Anyone who wants to develop a healthy approach to coping with emotionsAnyone looking to develop a healthy self-care practice.

Instructor Details

Emma McAdam

Hi there! Im Emma McAdam, Im a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I love helping people change. But I get it that understanding mental health can be confusing and stressful, but I also know that theres hope-you can change your brain and resolve painful emotions- and I can walk you through that process.
Ive been working in the field of change and growth since 2004. I got my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Utah State University and Im currently licensed in the state of Utah. Ive worked in settings like Juvenile Corrections, Adventure Therapy programs, High Schools, Wilderness Therapy programs, an Eating Disorder Treatment Center, a Residential Treatment Center, and Outpatient Therapy.
It can be so hard for so many people to access mental health resources. Theres big obstacles like cost, stigma, not knowing where to look or lack of high-quality local resources, and these make it hard for people to be able to get basic mental health services.
When my first child was born (I have three little girls), I wanted to spend as much time with them as possible when they were little, so I stopped seeing as many clients. But the calls kept coming. Faced with an overwhelming need, and an overactive mind, I decided to do one small thing- I started making videos on mental health topics in my wee-morning hours while my babies were asleep. In bite sized little nuggets, I make mental health skills more accessible through YouTube videos and Online Courses.

It's providing a really helpful distinction between coping and problem solving, presented in a clear compassionate way.

By Elizabeth Mattke on 9/20/2020

Therapy in a nutshell. Highly recommend.

By Theodore DeVenuti on 9/9/2020

It was a very helpful framework and plan that the instructor laid down. It showed how both are mind and body react to situations and how coping skills can be harmful or beneficial during a given situations. She also explained when not use coping skills. Only criticism is to slow down to let the user understand or even take notes on the presentation.

By Lynne Richard on 9/9/2020
