Coping skills for trauma are essential for anyone, and incorporating them into your practice can be very beneficial. Trauma-informed care is a crucial aspect of supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. Here are some ways you can use a coping skills card deck in your practice:

Self-care Rituals: Create a ritual around pulling a coping skill card each day or week. Reflect on how you can implement that skill in your daily life to promote self-care and healing.

Intention Jars: If you create intention jars, consider adding coping skill cards to them. This can infuse your intentions with strategies for managing stress, anxiety, or trauma triggers.

Meditation and Reflection: Incorporate the coping skills from the cards into your meditation or reflection practices. Focus on each skill to see how it resonates with your own experiences and needs.

Teaching and Workshops: If you're helping others, host workshops or classes where you teach the coping skills from the card deck. This can be a valuable resource for individuals seeking support.

Journaling: Use the coping skills to inspire journal prompts. Encourage yourself and others to write about their experiences and how they are incorporating these skills into their lives.

Spread Positivity: Share a coping skill with others, either in person or on social media, as a way to promote mental health awareness and well-being.

Remember that coping skills should be used in conjunction with other therapeutic techniques and strategies. Trauma can be complex, and a holistic approach to healing is often most effective.

If you have any specific questions about using the coping skills card deck or need more detailed information on any aspect, please feel free to ask!

Never regret your mistakes. Admire the courage it took to attempt the unknown.

A devotee is a small piece of a deity’s influence on earth. You are their agent, their image, their model and their example to the world. Doesn’t it make sense that they’d want their followers to be the happiest and healthiest people they can be? Elevating yourself through self care and self love is one of the purest acts of devotion that exists.
