Positive Self Statements for Coping with PTSD

Using coping statements can help replace negative thoughts with more realistic and positive ones. Each time you feel stressed due to a trauma trigger, you can recite a trauma coping statement or read it from a card or this handout.

Parents, teachers, social workers, and mental health professionals may print this handout and give it to someone who needs it. It can also be displayed on a wall for kids, teens, and adults to see and learn from.
