Assessment: Find Your Coping Style

What Is Your Reaction Style?

Have you ever been in a situation where you are made to feel unimportant, unloved, or emotionally unsafe? We all have. But did you know that how you react to that feeling can affect how (or if) the situation is resolved?

Many people have a default reactive style–a sort of coping mechanism your brain triggers to protect you in a situation that feels unsafe. Take the assessment below to map your emotional reactivity. Once you know and understand your reactive style(s), you can  learn how to manage your reactions to create your best relationship.
