Deal With Your Emotions in a Healthier Way COPING STRATEGIES VS. COPING MECHANISMS
COPING STRATEGIES VS. MECHANISMS Turning to coping mechanisms is a habit you may have learned as a kid. It’s understandable, and it’s okay. But instead, you want to focus on coping strategies that help you work through challenging emotions and find calm again.
What do you do when you feel anxious, sad, or stressed? Do you reach for your phone to scroll through Instagram? Do you turn to a Snickers bar for comfort? Maybe an episode of “Parks and Recreation” is your go-to form of relief. If you use any of these methods, you’re not alone. When humans face difficult situations, they often turn to coping mechanisms to numb emotions and help themselves feel better in the moment. Emotional development expert Alyssa Blask Campbell identifies many common coping mechanisms, including engaging in screen time, making to-do lists, seeking information, indulging in alcohol or cigarettes, and asserting control where possible. Coping mechanisms make you feel better in the moment, but they don’t always help process and deal with emotions in the long run.
Because the way you react when your emotions overwhelm you has an impact on the way you feel during and after that experience, it’s all the more important to understand the different coping tools at your disposal.

help you better process whatever comes your way.
Forget the Regular Facial
WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER OUR HYDRAFACIAL TREATMENT
At Cool Renew Med Spa, we know that periodic facials are a staple of many of our patients’ beauty care routines. And while we don’t offer traditional facials here at the Med Spa, we offer something even better: HydraFacial treatment. This treatment outperforms any regular facial you can get somewhere else for several reasons, so whether you’re in the market for a new facial treatment or not, you may want to read on. The HydraFacial treatment uses a unique vortex delivery system to give you clean, glowing skin in just three simple steps. First, it cleanses and uncovers a new layer of skin with gentle exfoliation. Then, it extracts debris from your pores and hydrates your skin with moisturizers. Finally, it saturates your skin with antioxidants and peptides to enhance your skin’s glow and protect it immediately after the procedure. All in all, this treatment takes around 30 minutes. This procedure is superior to a regular facial in a few key ways. First, while many facials include a dermabrasion process that can be somewhat uncomfortable, the hydradermabrasion process feels more like a gentle massage then getting blasted in the face by grit. Second, the experience and results are not as dependent on technician proficiency, which means
you can expect the same incredible glow every time. Finally, it works on all types of skin and at any age. Whether you’re a young person still struggling with acne or you’re trying to minimize increasingly prominent wrinkles, HydraFacial is the treatment for you. The next time you’re in need of a facial, we hope you’ll consider the HydraFacial treatment available at Cool Renew Med Spa. We want you to be the best version of yourself you can be, so give us a call today at 814- 347-8314 to learn more.
