| I suffer from stress! I know I can't cope! I'm useless! I can't do anything! | |

| Don't panic! I'm Don Meichenbaum and I can help you! Firstly - concentrate on a situation that has caused you stress. Why did it cause you stress? | |

 | |  |
| Now, change your negative thoughts. You can do this! You are good! Close your eyes and think about how else you could have thought about what happened. Maybe try some relaxation or mediation | |

| Cool. Maybe I can cope. Now what? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Now go try it in a real situation! Remember that when you think you can't cope, use a coping statement! | |
