For this assignment, I'm required to think about coping strategies that an individual employs when facing significant stressors and to create either a true or fictional situation involving someone other than myself.
Three Subheadings:
The precipitating event- this is where I describe the scenario in which the individual finds him - or herself. This is where I tell "my story", making sure it makes sense and flows for the reader ( this is the part that I'm really uncertain about).
Psychological symptoms - describing the behaviors and emotions experience by my main character. This should emanate from the precipitating event using concise accurate descriptions of symptoms.
The coping strategies - describe how the person successfully deals with his stressors.
