Free tool

Skills for the hard moments — on one card.

Pick what you're dealing with and how strong it feels right now — get a small, printable card of coping skills to keep where you'll find it. Free and private: nothing you choose here is saved or sent anywhere.

Why match the skill to the moment

Coping skills aren't interchangeable: the ones that need clear thinking stop being usable when distress is high, and reaching for them anyway teaches exactly the wrong lesson — that skills don't work for you. This card matches its suggestions to how flooded you are, leading with body-first and grounding skills when thinking is hard. Practice them before you need them.

1 · What are you dealing with?

2 · How strong is it right now?
