Stress Management Assessment & Readiness Test


SECTION 5: Coping

This section will address how you cope with stress. For example, when you are feeling stressed do you turn to drugs and/or alcohol in order to "cope"? Are you more likely to overeat when stressed? Do you use avoidance to deal with your stress? You will find that these strategies, although seemingly helpful in the short term, create even greater problems in the long term.
