Problem focused vs. emotion focused coping
Maladaptive vs. adaptive coping 
Our most common defence mechanisms 
How to stop numbing ourselves to our experiences 
How to consciously deal with hard things in life 
Our coping statements 
Freud, Carl Jung and many more 

Listen now for a comprehensive deep dive into coping in your 20s and beyond.
