I can identify healthy ways to respond when I feel angry.
Key Concepts
Triggers are stressful things that cause your emotions to run wild; examples include losing a game, feeling embarrassed, or being hungry.
The first step to managing big emotions is to notice and identify the emotions you are feeling, and you can ask yourself questions like 'What am I thinking?' and 'What do I feel in my body?'
Coping skills can be broken down into four categories: relaxation skills, distraction skills, movement skills, and thinking skills.
