Supporting clients in developing coping strategies can involve:

  • Psychoeducation: Educate clients about trauma responses and normalising their feelings can help them understand their experiences better.
  • Coping Skills Training: Teach clients practical coping skills, such as deep breathing exercises, visualisation techniques, and grounding exercises to manage anxiety and distress.

Encouraging Social Support: Help clients identify and strengthen their support networks, encouraging them to reach out to friends, family, or support groups.
