Emotion-focused coping

Emotion-focused coping is "a stress management technique that involves regulating negative emotional reactions to a stressor, rather than directly addressing the problem causing the stress. It's often used when a person feels the stressor is beyond their ability to change, focusing instead on managing their feelings about the situation.
