Abstract

Mark Donald

Coping with emotional trauma requires a multifaceted approach that encompasses both psychological and practical strategies. These may include seeking professional therapy or counseling, engaging in self-care activities such as exercise and mindfulness practices, building a support network of trusted friends and family members, journaling to express emotions and exploring creative outlets like art or music. Additionally, developing healthy coping mechanisms, setting boundaries and allowing oneself time to heal are crucial steps in the recovery process. Ultimately, navigating emotional trauma involves a combination of self-awareness, resilience and seeking appropriate support.
